Convergent evolution and structural adaptation to the deep ocean in the protein folding chaperonin CCTα

Alexandra A.-T. Weber, Andrew F. Hugall, Timothy D. O’Hara

The paper identifies molecular convergence and structural adaptations in CCTα, a protein folding chaperonin, in deep-sea brittle stars, showing increased stability under high pressure and cold conditions.
