Hibernation Proteins: Preparing for Life in the Freezer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hibernation is an extreme response to a seasonal environment, yet we know almost nothing about how it is timed or how vital cellular functions are sustained in the face of plummeting body temperature. In this issue of Cell, kondo et al. (2006) identify a liver-derived protein complex as an essential coordinator of this adaptation to the depredations of winter.

Chemical changes and shelf-life of conventional surimi and proteins recovered using pH change method from common carp (Cyprinus carpio) muscle during 5 months storage at -18ºC
Chemical changes and shelf-life of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) surimi prepared by conventional washing method and solubilization by acid and alkali processes were investigated during 5 months of storage at -18 °C. Results showed that surimi produced with acid and alkaline solubilization is significantly higher yield than the conventional surimi. Protein solubilization by using acid and alkali...

متن کاملEffects of Long-Term Storage Time and Original Sampling Month on Biobank Plasma Protein Concentrations
The quality of clinical biobank samples is crucial to their value for life sciences research. A number of factors related to the collection and storage of samples may affect the biomolecular composition. We have studied the effect of long-time freezer storage, chronological age at sampling, season and month of the year and on the abundance levels of 108 proteins in 380 plasma samples collected ...
متن کاملSerum Immune-Related Proteins are Differentially Expressed during Hibernation in the American Black Bear
Hibernation is an adaptation to conserve energy in the face of extreme environmental conditions and low food availability that has risen in several animal phyla. This phenomenon is characterized by reduced metabolic rate (∼25% of the active basal metabolic rate in hibernating bears) and energy demand, while other physiological adjustments are far from clear. The profiling of the serum proteome ...
متن کاملModulation of apoptotic pathways in intestinal mucosa during hibernation.
Mammalian hibernation is associated with several events that can affect programmed cell death (apoptosis) in nonhibernators, including marked changes in blood flow, extended fasting, and oxidative stress. However, the effect of hibernation on apoptosis is poorly understood. Here, we investigated apoptosis and expression of proteins involved in apoptotic pathways in intestinal mucosa of summer a...
