Understanding the settlement of Balanus amphitrite through the molecular and structural characterisation of the settlement-inducing protein complex
Many barnacle species are gregarious and their cypris larvae display a remarkable ability to explore surfaces before committing to permanent attachment. The cuticular tissue of adult barnacles contains an α2-macroglobulin-like glycoprotein contact cue referred to as the settlement-inducing protein c...
