| Research Abstract |
We identified several novel anti-aggregation proteins from an anhydrobiotic tardigrade, Ramazzottius varieornatus and revealed that these proteins were expressed abundantly even in active state. Although these proteins were found in less-tolerant taridirades, there are some correlation between their denaturing temperature and desiccation-tolerance. Our identified proteins are good basis to elucidate the molecular mechanism of anhydrobiotic ability and extremotolerance of tardigrades.
