Amino acid sequence of a new type of antifreeze protein, from the longhorn sculpin Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosis. of outstanding interest FEBS Lett. 402:1997;17-20 The authors report the discovery of a new type of fish AFP (type IV). It shares sequence similarity with members of the exchangeable apolioproteins super-family and is unrelated to the type I AFP in the sister species - short-horn and grubby sculpins.

Evolution of antifreeze glycoprotein from a trypsinogen gene in Antarctic notothenioid fish. of outstanding interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 94:1997;3811-3816 The origin of the notothenioid AFGP gene is determined. Sequence analyses show that the protease to AFGP conversion involved recruitment of the two ends of the protease gene and expansion of a 9 nt sequence in the middle to provide the new AFGP coding region.

This Cys-rich repetitive mealworm AFP represents yet another new type in the antifreeze superfamily and is much more active than fish AFPS.
