The molecular evolution of sperm bindin in six species of sea urchins (Echinoida: Strongylocentrotidae).

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 1998

Biermann C H

Abstract excerpt

The acrosomal protein bindin attaches sperm to eggs during sea urchin fertilization. Complementary to ongoing functional biochemical studies, I take a comparative approach to explore the molecular evolution of bindin in a group of closely related free-spawning echinoid species. Two alleles of the mature bindin gene were sequenced for each of six species in the sea urchin family Strongylocentrotidae. The...
