An Iroquois gene with two homeoboxes – a waste of energy?

Corresponding genomic and cDNA sequences of Suberites domuncula SdIrx-b Iroquois homeobox gene were presented. Sequence conservation and protein secondary structure prediction indicates only one of the two Iroquois homeodomains present in the gene is under selective pressure. SdIrx-b is probably an active gene but the second Iroquois homeodomain could be inactive.
