Disorder and function: a review of the dehydrin protein family
Dehydration proteins (dehydrins) are group 2 members of the late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein family.The protein architecture of dehydrins can be described by the presence of three types of conserved sequence motifs that have been named the K-, Y- and S-segments.By definition, a dehydrin must contain at least one copy of the lysine-rich K-s
