The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results

The interaction between Agrobacterium fabrum phytochromes Agp1 and Agp2 was studied using FRET. Full‐length and truncated proteins with varied label positions provided spatial insights, narrowing down from many docking models to three. These models explain Agp2's reduction in Agp1 autophosphorylation, with Arg83 of Agp2 specifically evolved to interact
