Expansion and neofunctionalization of actinoporin-like genes in Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis).

Abstract:

Pore-forming toxins are an important component of the venom of many animals. Actinoporins are potent cytolysins that were first detected in the venom of sea anemones; however, they are occasionally found in animals other than cnidarians and are expanded in a few predatory gastropods. Here, we report the presence of 27 unique actinoporin-like genes with monophyletic origin in Mytilus galloprovincialis, which we have termed mytiporins. These mytiporins exhibited a remarkable level of molecular ...
