Positive selection in cathelicidin host defense peptides: adaptation to exogenous pathogens or endogenous receptors?

The cause of adaptive protein evolution includes internal (for example, co-evolution of ligand-receptor pairs) and external (for example, adaptation to different ecological niches) mechanisms. Host defense peptides (HDPs) are a class of vertebrate-specific cationic antimicrobial peptides evolving un...
