An Sp185/333 gene cluster from the purple sea urchin and putative microsatellite-mediated gene diversification.

BMC genomics - 18 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The immune system of the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, is complex and sophisticated. An important component of sea urchin immunity is the Sp185/333 gene family, which is significantly upregulated in immunologically challenged animals. The Sp185/333 genes are less than 2 kb with two exons and are members of a large diverse family composed of greater than 40 genes. The S. purpuratus...
