Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antifreeze proteins enable organisms to avoid freezing under extreme conditions. The greatest diversity of known antifreeze proteins is in teleost fish and much work has gone into the understanding of these proteins and their applications. Antifreeze proteins are an exciting model system for the study of protein-surface (ice) interaction. They have served as unique model structures in protein science and they are also useful tools in the study of fish physiology and behaviour. Their emergence in some fish species has even provided a rare glimpse of de novo protein evolution in action. To cover the diverse aspects of fish antifreeze study, a wide spectrum of researchers was selected to write comprehensive articles on different areas of antifreeze research. This text should be a very useful and informative resource for life science researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winter flounder, 'Pleuronectes americanus', produces two types of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to avoid freezing during winter. The expression of the liver-type AFPs (wflAFPs) and skin-type AFPs (wfsAFPs) are differentially regulated by environmental factors and growth hormone. The only intron of the wflAFP gene acts as a liver-specific enhancer and a more refined core sequence Element B interacts with a liver-enriched transcription factor C/EBPÃ and a presumptive antifreeze enhancer-binding protein (AEP). In the present study, the specific binding of C/EBPÃ to Element B and the presumptive AEP was confirmed in both rat and flounder liver extracts. Element B of the wflAFP gene was shown to be the core enhancer. Mutations of Element B significantly decreased the enhancer activity of the wflAFP gene intron. Recombinant C/EBPÃ interacted specifically with Element B and transactivated the wflAFP gene expression, indicating its pivotal role in the liver-specific expression of wflAFP gene. Also, C/EBP proteins were shown to be present in winter flounder. Moreover, IGF-1 and PI3-kinase were found to inhibit the wflAFP gene expression, suggesting their involvement in wflAFP gene regulation. In addition, the intron of a wfsAFP gene was shown to be a ubiquitous enhancer. Element S, the corresponding region of Element B of the wfsAFP intron, did not interact with C/EBPÃ, while it still bound to the antifreeze enhancer-binding protein. As expected, a TA insertion in Element B of the wflAFP gene intron destroyed its liver-specific enhancer activity. Finally, the identity of rat AEP was revealed as a novel protein with 988 residues in length. It is homologous to Smubp-2/Rip-1 with DNA-binding domain and putative helicase motifs. AEP interacted specifically with Element B and was necessary for the transactivation of the enhancer of the wflAFP gene. Furthermore, AEP was shown to be widely expressed in various tissues and its homologous gene was present in flounder. The present study provides a mechanism(s) by which the differential tissue distribution of the wflAFP and wfsAFP gene expression can be achieved. A model is proposed integrating the involvement of GH and IGF-1 signaling pathway as well as the roles of C/EBPÃ and AEP in mediating the seasonal and hormonal regulation of the AFP genes in winter flounder.

Book excerpt: This volume provides methods to study ice-binding proteins (IBPs), and applications involving these proteins. Chapters are divided into three parts describing identifying, isolating, and purifying ice-binding proteins, characterize both IBPs and ice-nucleating proteins (INPs), and synthesize mimics of IBPs, as well as applications involving these proteins. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Ice Binding Proteins: Methods and Protocols aims to provide both experimental and simulations protocols to help new researchers, break-the-ice, and enter this exciting field, while also supporting established researchers broaden the scope of their investigations.

Download or read book Biochemistry and Function of Antifreeze Proteins written by Steffen P. Graether and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antifreeze proteins, also known as thermal hysteresis proteins, ice binding proteins and ice structuring proteins, prevent the growth of ice crystals in several cold blooded organisms. First discovered in fish, they have also been found in insects, plants, fungi and bacteria. Antifreeze proteins cause the non-colligative depression of the freezing point of water, a property which has been exploited in the practical applications of antifreeze proteins such as improving the texture of ice cream, and could be used to extend the crop growing season or allow fish to thrive in cold waters. This book provides clear information on what is known about antifreeze proteins today and how to study them.
