notothenioid

Thirty-five years ago Arthur DeVries of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign first documented antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) in Antarctic notothenioid fishes.

On the one hand, there are the notothenioid fish in the Antarctic region, which can survive temperatures that should freeze their blood solid.

The reason is that the gene for a pigmentation protein called Yellow protein which actually produces dark pigmentation has gained a new switch sequence for a particular regulatory protein.42 This result is important because it shows random mutation not only breaks switches, but occasionally makes new ones, too, just as it occasionally makes proteins with new functions such as the antifreeze protein of notothenioid fish.

In trillions of Antarctic notothenioid fish in the past ten million years, no new regulatory regions seem to have helped much in the fight against freezing water—only changes in protein sequences do.
