Indirect sexual selection drives rapid sperm protein evolution

D. B. Wilburn, L. M. Tuttle, R. E. Klevit, W. J. Swanson

The paper shows that FITZAP, a sperm protein in abalone, coevolves with lysin to maintain binding despite rapid changes in the lysin-VERL interface, driven by sexual selection.

Solution structure of sperm lysin yields novel insights into molecular dynamics of rapid protein evolution

D. B. Wilburn, L. M. Tuttle, R. E. Klevit, W. J. Swanson

This study presents the solution structure of sperm lysin from red abalone and identifies a VERL binding interface shaped by positive selection and structural flexibility.
