Accelerated evolution at chaperone promoters among Antarctic notothenioid fishes
Abstract Background Antarctic fishes of the Notothenioidei suborder constitutively upregulate multiple inducible chaperones, a highly derived adaptation that preserves proteostasis in extreme cold, and represent a system for studying the evolution of gene frontloading. We screened for Hsf1-binding s...
