A novel Mn-dependent peroxidase contributes to tardigrade anhydrobiosis
2020-11-07
Abstract excerpt
Tardigrades are microscopic animals that are capable of tolerating extreme environments by entering a desiccated ametabolic state known as anhydrobiosis. While antioxidative stress genes, antiapoptotic pathways and tardigrade-specific intrinsically disordered proteins have been implicated in the anhydrobiotic machinery, conservation of these mechanisms is not universal within the phylum Tardigrada, suggesting the...
