This research focuses on understanding how certain proteins in tardigrades help them survive extreme dryness. By analyzing these proteins, the project aims to identify their protective features and develop new sequences that can enhance cellular survival under desiccation.
Desiccation is a form of stress wherein extremely dry conditions cause intracellular proteins to unfold and aggregate irreversibly, resulting in cell-death.
How do cells and organisms survive desiccation is a fundamental question in biology.
Cytosolic Abundant Heat Soluble (CAHS) proteins, a family of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) in tardigrades (a phylum of micro-animals), have been shown to be important for their survival during long periods of dryness.
Under desiccation condition,…
