Two novel heat-soluble protein families abundantly expressed in an anhydrobiotic tardigrade.

Two novel heat-soluble protein families abundantly expressed in an anhydrobiotic tardigrade.

Tardigrades are able to tolerate almost complete dehydration by reversibly switching to an ametabolic state. This ability is called anhydrobiosis. In the anhydrobiotic state, tardigrades can withstand various extreme environments including space, but their molecular basis remains largely unknown. La...
