Abstract: | Background The organic matrix of biominerals plays an important role in biomineral formation and in determining biomineral properties.
However, most components of biomineral matrices remain unknown at present. In sea urchin, which is an important model organism
for developmental biology and biomineralization, only few matrix components have been identified and characterized at the
protein level. The recent publication of the Strongylocentrotus purpuratus genome sequence rendered possible not only the identification of possible matrix proteins at the gene level, but also the
direct identification of proteins contained in matrices of skeletal elements by in-depth, high-accuracy, proteomic analysis. |
