Article Synopsis
- The study presents the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a Caribbean gastropod species that typically inhabits sunken wood at deep ocean depths.
- This mitochondrial genome is 15,321 base pairs long, featuring a specific percentage of nucleotides: 29.2% Adenine (A), 41.8% Thymine (T), 12.0% Cytosine (C), and 17.0% Guanine (G).
- Phylogenetic analysis shows that this species belongs to the superfamily Turbinelloidea, which diverged early in the Neogastropod evolution and is closely related to several other superfamilies within the group.
Background: The allosteric respiratory protein hemocyanin occurs in gastropods as tubular di-, tri- and multimers of a 35 x 18 nm, ring-like decamer with a collar complex at one opening. The decamer comprises five subunit dimers. The subunit, a 400 kDa polypeptide, is a concatenation of eight paralogous functional units.
