???displayArticle.abstract??? SpCoel1 is a single copy gene that is specifically expressed in most of the coelomocytes of the adult purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. The 4-kb transcript from this gene has a relatively short (426 nucleotide) open reading frame (ORF) with long 3'' and 5'' untranslated regions. The ORF encodes a protein that has strong amino acid sequence similarity to profilins from yeast to mammals. Transcript titrations of SpCoel1 show significant increases per coelomocyte in animals that have been physiologically challenged. Increases in transcript levels are of similar magnitudes between animals receiving different treatments, such as injuries from needle punctures or from injections of foreign cells. The evidence presented here implies a molecular mechanism by which this lower deuterostome defense system responds to external insult, viz that an external "injury signal" activates a signal transduction system, which in turn mediates the alterations in cytoskeletal state that are required for coelomocyte activation.
