Recurrent Independent Pseudogenization Events of the Sperm Fertilization Gene ZP3r in Apes and Monkeys

2021-10-16

Abstract excerpt

In mice, ZP3r/sp56 is a binding partner to the egg coat protein ZP3 and may mediate induction of the acrosome reaction. ZP3r, as a member of the RCA cluster, is surrounded by paralogs, some of which have been shown to be evolving under positive selection. Sequence divergence paired with paralogous relationships with neighboring genes, has complicated the accurate identification of the human ZP3r ortholog. Here, we...
