Lysin is a 16kDa acrosomal protein used by abalone sperm to create a hole
in the egg vitelline envelope (VE). The interaction of lysin with the VE is
species-selective and is one step in the multistep fertilization process
that restricts heterospecific (cross-species) fertilization. For this
reason, the evolution of lysin could play a role in establishing prezygotic
reproductive isolation between species. Previously, we sequenced sperm
lysin cDNAs from seven California abalone species and showed that positive
Darwinian selection promotes their divergence. In this paper an additional
13 lysin sequences are presented representing species from Japan, Taiwan,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Europe. The total of 20 sequences
represents the most extensive analysis of a fertilization protein to date.
The phylogenetic analysis divides the sequences into two major clades, one
composed of species from the northern Pacific (California and Japan) and
the other composed of species from other parts of the world. Analysis of
nucleotide substitution demonstrates that positive selection is a general
process in the evolution of this fertilization protein. Analysis of
nucleotide and codon usage bias shows that neither parameter can account
for the robust data supporting positive selection. The selection pressure
responsible for the positive selection on lysin remains unknown.
