Rapid evolution in a conserved gene family. Evolution of the actin gene family in the sea urchin genus Heliocidaris and related genera.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 1997

Kissinger J C, Hahn J H, Raff R A

Abstract excerpt

Camarodont sea urchins possess a rapidly evolving actin gene family whose members are expressed in distinct cell lineages in a developmentally regulated fashion. Evolutionary changes in the actin gene family of echinoids include alterations in number of family members, site of expression, and gene linkage, and a dichotomy between rapidly and slowly evolving isoform-specific 3' untranslated regions. We present...
