When screening for homeobox-containing genes from the sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma (He), we isolated an exon of a gene which appears to be a homologue of the homeobox-containing gene, ceh-19, of Caenorhabditis elegans (Ce). The predicted translation of the sea urchin sequence shows 77% identity and 92% similarity to the first 53 amino acids of the homeodomain of ceh-19. The ceh-19 gene exhibits an intron in an unusual location in the 3' end of the homeobox; the He gene shares this feature.
在从海胆红斑海胆（Heliocidaris erythrogramma，He）中筛选含同源异型框基因时，我们分离出了一个基因的外显子，该基因似乎是秀丽隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis elegans，Ce）含同源异型框基因ceh-19的同源物。海胆序列的预测翻译结果与ceh-19同源异型域前53个氨基酸的同一性为77%，相似性为92%。ceh-19基因在同源异型框3'端的一个不寻常位置有一个内含子；海胆基因也有这一特征。
