CAHS coding region

Summary

This part contains the coding region of the Hypsibius dujardini (Water bear) (Macrobiotus dujardini) CAHS gene. Cytosolic abundant heat soluble proteins acts as a molecular shield in water-deficient condition. Tardigrade-specific intrinsically disordered proteins (TDPs) are essential for desiccation tolerance by forming non-crystalline amorphous solids upon desiccation, and this vitrified state mirrors their protective capabilities.

As you can see, when the water bear is suffering slow drying, the TDPs will upregulate, and then he will become a crystal. Magically, after rehydration, he is still alive. We chose the CAHS1 which play a important role in this process.
A separate fragment is 714bp.
