Antifreeze proteins bind to ice crystals and modify their growth. These proteins show great diversity in structure, and they have been found in a variety of organisms. The ice-binding mechanisms ...
and proteomic techniques to understand the molecular evolution and diversity of Type III antifreeze proteins in a single individual Antarctic fish Lycodichthys dearborni. Our expressed sequence tag (EST) screen ...
SignificanceThe diverse antifreeze proteins enabling the survival of different polar fishes in freezing seas offer unparalleled vistas into the breadth of genetic sources and mechanisms that produce ...
or freshwater habitats. These intertidal IBPs had high sequence similarity to fish and tick antifreeze glycoproteins and fish type II antifreeze proteins . Previously established classifiers based on machine ...
antifreeze proteins , exemplifying convergent evolution , represent excellent opportunities to investigate the evolutionary origins and pathways of new genes. Particularly notable is the near-identical type I ...
of convergent evolution within three orders of teleost fish. Abbreviations AFGP antifreeze glycoproteins AFP antifreeze protein EST expressed sequence tag TH thermal hysteresis Introduction Many species ...
freezing by endogenous antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that bind to ice crystals and stop them from growing. The scattered distribution of five highly diverse AFP types across phylogenetically disparate fish ...
between budworm and of ice crystal formation are two unique accomplished is unknown at present. An ex beetle AFPs, and suggest that they both arose properties of antifreeze proteins • Although amination ...
of two 7-kDa domains linked in water temperatures have evolved diverse biological anti- tandem. We report the characterization of a two-domain freezes for survival. Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) adsorb to AFP ...
A variety of organisms have independently evolved proteins exhibiting antifreeze activity that allows survival at subfreezing temperatures. The antifreeze proteins (AFPs) bind ice nuclei and depress ...
