1. Yellowtail flounder's major serum AFP has four 11-amino acid repeats.
2. It is less active than winter flounder's three-repeat AFP (HPLC-6) on a mg/mL basis but comparable on a molar basis, and far less active than winter flounder's four-repeat AFP (AFP9).
3. This is likely due to lacking supporting i+3 ice-binding residues in three repeats and different ice-binding motifs1-8,1-13 and 1-52.

| Thermal Hysteresis | Fig.5 Thermal hysteresis activity as a function of AFP concentration. Activity curves for winter flounder HPLC-6 and yellowtail flounder AFP were taken from Scott et al. (1987). Thecurve for AFP9 was based on serial dilutions of a stock 10 mg/mL solution. Each point is the average of at least three determinations.Standard deviations are shown by the vertical bars. |

1. The cDNA encoding the major serum antifreeze protein in the yellowtail flounder was cloned, and its sequence shows differences from the winter flounder AFP, including an additional 11-amino-acid repeat and fewer hydrophilic ice-binding residues.
2. On a mass basis, the yellowtail flounder antifreeze is only 80% as effective as the winter flounder antifreeze at depressing the freezing temperature of aqueous solutions, probably due to the reduced number of hydrophilic ice-binding residues per molecule. 3. Variation in the number of 11-amino-acid repeats in AFPs might arise by unequal crossing over during recombination within the AFP multigene family. |
