Three full-length phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) cDNAs from sea snake Lapemis hardwickii venom were cloned and sequenced in our previous study. In order to investigate their biological functions, we established a fusion expression system for PLA(2)-9 in E. coli.

Article Synopsis
- Amphioxus is identified as the closest living relative to vertebrates, and researchers aimed to explore its early embryonic development through a cDNA library.
- A total of 5,235 expressed sequenced tags (ESTs) were generated, revealing around 2,493 unique genes, with significant portions remaining unmatched to known sequences.
- The study highlights the presence of homologous genes linked to neural development and human diseases, supporting the idea that certain vertebrate-specific genes also exist in the amphioxus genome, aiding in our understanding of vertebrate evolution.
