Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are a diverse class of proteins that assist organism survival in the
presence of ice in cold climates. They have different origins in many organisms, including …

Polar environments pose extreme challenges for life due to low temperatures, limited water,
high radiation, and frozen landscapes. Despite these harsh conditions, numerous macro …

Bacterial adhesins are modular cell-surface proteins that mediate adherence to other cells,
surfaces, and ligands. The Antarctic bacterium Marinomonas primoryensis uses a 1.5-MDa …

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are typically small, soluble proteins produced by cold-adapted
organisms to help them avoid ice damage by either resisting or tolerating freezing. By …

Marine organisms have developed a series of defense and adaptation strategies, permitting
them to live and survive in peculiar environments, ranging from temperate to tropical and …

Gram-negative bacteria produce repeats-in-toxin adhesion proteins (RTX adhesins) to
facilitate microbial adhesion. These large, multidomain proteins share a common …

Antifreeze proteins are ice-binding or ice-structuring proteins that prevent water from
freezing by adsorbing to the ice surface and stopping the growth of minute ice crystals to …

The large size of a 1.5-MDa ice-binding adhesin [Mp AFP (Marinomonas primoryensis
antifreeze protein)] from an Antarctic Gram-negative bacterium, M. primoryensis, is mainly …

Proteins whose presence prevents water from freezing in living organisms at temperatures
below 0° C are referred to as antifreeze proteins. This group includes molecules of varying …

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that enable polar organisms to survive subzero temperatures are
structurally bound to a specific ice surface, regulating crystal formation and growth. To …
