General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | Adineta vaga likely has acquired its trehalose biosynthesis and hydrolysis genes by horizontal gene transfers. The four trehalose-6-phosphate synthase TPS copies of Adineta vaga appear more closely related to plant and fungi proteins, as well as to some protists, whereas the seven TRE copies of the gene encoding trehalase fall in bacterial clades | Adineta vaga |
physiological function | possible signaling role of trehalose-6-phosphate or trehalose in the dessication process, sugars are proposed to play a role in osmotic adjustment, to stabilize biomolecules and membranes, and to act as a replacement for water | Adineta vaga |
