Anhydrobiotic animals protect cellular architecture and metabolic machinery in the dry state,
yet the molecular repertoire supporting this profound dehydration tolerance is not fully …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are associated with desiccation tolerance in
anhydrobiotic organisms. The larvae of an African chironomid, Polypedilum vanderplanki …

Main conclusion We have evaluated the endogenous expression and molecular properties
of selected Group 3 LEA proteins from Artemia franciscana, and the capacity of selected …

The ability of certain plants, invertebrates, and microorganisms to survive almost complete
loss of water has long been recognized, but the molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon …

Group 3 late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are highly hydrophilic, and their
expression is associated with desiccation tolerance in both plants and animals. Here we …

Background Cells and organisms typically cannot survive in the absence of water. However,
some animals including nematodes, tardigrades, rotifers, and some arthropods are able to …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are accumulated by anhydrobiotic organisms
in response to desiccation and improve survivorship during water stress. In this study we …

Water loss or desiccation is among the most life-threatening stresses. It leads to DNA double-
strand breakage, protein aggregation, cell shrinkage, and low water activity precluding all …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are highly hydrophilic, low complexity proteins
whose expression has been correlated with desiccation tolerance in anhydrobiotic …

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are extremely hydrophilic proteins that were
first identified in land plants. Intracellular accumulation is tightly correlated with acquisition of …
