De Novo protein biosynthesis responses to water stresses in wood frogs: freeze-thaw and dehydration-rehydration.

Author(s) : STOREY K. B., STOREY J. M., CHURCHILL T. A.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

The data indicate that the biochemical adaptations supporting freeze tolerance in anurans include the stress-induced biosynthesis of a suite of proteins including the novel synthesis of selected specific proteins. These proteins may represent stress-related (or shock) proteins or may have specific roles in metabolic adaptation in each state such as in water and ionic balance or cell volume regulation.
