New binding specificities evolve via point mutation in an invertebrate allorecognition gene
Summary: Many organisms use genetic self-recognition systems to distinguish themselves from conspecifics. In the cnidarian, Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, self-recognition is partially controlled by allorecognition 2 (Alr2). Alr2 encodes a highly polymorphic transmembrane protein that discriminates...
