CC -!- FUNCTION: CAHS proteins are cytosolic heat soluble proteins that seem
CC to contribute to the anhydrobiosis in tardigrades, but their specific
CC mechanisms are yet to be identified (PubMed:28306513, PubMed:33545053).
CC It is possible that protection during anhydrobiosis might occur via the
CC stabilization of vitrifying small molecules such as sugars, but not via
CC the direct glass transition of CAHS proteins themselves (Probable).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28306513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33545053,
CC ECO:0000305|PubMed:33545053}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305|PubMed:28306513}.
CC -!- INDUCTION: Expression is highly induced during desiccation
CC (PubMed:28306513). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28306513}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: CAHS proteins contain 2 repeats of 19-mer peptides designated
CC as CAHS-motifs that comprise each two octapeptides connected by a
CC tripeptide (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:J7M799}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Results in a significant decrease in survival
CC after desiccation but does not affect survival under frozen conditions
CC (PubMed:28306513). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28306513}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Trehalose, a disaccharide essential for several
CC organisms to survive drying, is detected at low levels or not at all in
CC some tardigrade species, indicating that tardigrades possess
CC potentially novel mechanisms for surviving desiccation involving
CC tardigrade-specific intrinsically disordered proteins (TDPs)
CC (PubMed:28306513). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28306513}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Cytosolic-abundant heat soluble protein
CC (CAHS) family. {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- CAUTION: It was suggested that CAHS proteins were intrinsically
CC unstructured and show heat-dependent glass transition, which
CC contributes to the vitrification of cells, and this further leads to
CC desiccation tolerance (PubMed:28306513). However, more recent studies
CC led to the conclusion that there was no evidence supporting glass
CC transition of CAHS proteins to be contributing to the glass transition
CC of the whole tardigrade (PubMed:33545053).
