Exploring proteins within the coccolith matrix by Dedman, CJ, Chauhan, N, González-Lanchas, A, Baldreki, C, Dowle, AA, Larson, TR, Lee, RBY, Rickaby, REM

“…Notably, several protein features were consistently seen across the examined coccolithophore species, including the cell signalling 14-3-3 domain, chromosome segregation SMC ATPase domain, as well as proteins involved in protein processing and protease inhibition. The copper-binding cupredoxin domain was observed in both Gephyrocapsa species, as well as other marine calcifiers, suggestive of a requirement of Cu in biomineralisation. …”
