A sea urchin gene encoding dystrophin-related proteins.

The gene which is defective in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the largest known gene. The product of the gene in muscle, dystrophin, is a 427 kDa protein. The same gene encodes at least six additional products: two non-muscle dystrophin isoforms transcribed from promoters located in the 5'-end region of the gene and four smaller proteins transcribed from internal promoters located further...

The dystrophin / utrophin homologues in Drosophila and in sea urchin.

The gene which is defective in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is the largest known gene containing at least 79 introns, some of which are extremely large. The product of the gene in muscle, dystrophin, is a 427 kDa protein. The same gene encodes at least two additional non-muscle full length dystrophin isoforms transcribed from different promoters located in the 5'-end region of the gene, an...

A genome-wide analysis of biomineralization-related proteins in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus.

Biomineralization, the biologically controlled formation of mineral deposits, is of widespread importance in biology, medicine, and engineering. Mineralized structures are found in most metazoan phyla and often have supportive, protective, or feeding functions. Among deuterostomes, only echinoderms and vertebrates produce extensive biomineralized structures. Although skeletons appeared independ...

Characterization of a Gene Family Encoding SEA (Sea-urchin Sperm Protein, Enterokinase and Agrin)-Domain Proteins with Lectin-Like and Heme-Binding Properties from Schistosoma japonicum

BACKGROUND We previously identified a novel gene family dispersed in the genome of Schistosoma japonicum by retrotransposon-mediated gene duplication mechanism. Although many transcripts were identified, no homolog was readily identifiable from sequence information. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we utilized structural homology modeling and biochemical methods to identify remote homolog...

Complete nucleotide sequence of a sea urchin actin gene

We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a sea urchin actin gene, including the entire protein-coding sequence, introns and approximately 500 and 700 nucleotides adjacent to protein-coding-sequence on the 5' and 3' sides, respectively. This gene is split between codons 121 and 122 and within codon 204 by two introns which are 233 and 181 nucleotides in length, respectively. Compar...
