Bindin genes of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Gene - 1 Nov 2008

Moy Gary W, Vacquier Victor D

Abstract excerpt

When Crassostrea gigas oyster sperm acrosome react a ring of bindin protein is exposed that bonds the sperm to the egg vitelline envelope. The putative functional unit of bindin is a fucose lectin (F-lectin) domain that is structurally conserved among phyla. There is only one bindin gene in C. gigas, which can possess 1-5 tandem F-lectin repeats. Alternative splicing can alter the number of repeats per bindin...
