The loss of the hemoglobin H(2)S-binding function in annelids from sulfide-free habitats reveals molecular adaptation driven by Darwinian positive selection
The hemoglobin of the deep-sea hydrothermal vent vestimentiferan Riftia pachyptila (annelid) is able to bind toxic hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) to free cysteine residues and to transport it to fuel endosymbiotic sulfide-oxidising bacteria. The cysteine residues are conserved key amino acids in annelid g...
