Slow evolution under purifying selection in the gamete recognition protein bindin of the sea urchin Diadema
Bindin is a sperm protein that mediates attachment and membrane fusion of gametes. The mode of bindin evolution varies across sea urchin genera studied to date. In three genera it evolves under positive selection, in four under mostly purifying selection, and in one, results have been mixed. We stud...
