Abstract

CvP-bias (difference between proportions of charged and polar non-charged amino acids) has been recognized as an efficient criterion to distinguish hyperthermophiles from mesothermophiles. By analyzing the CvP-biases of seven barophiles's proteomes, we reveal that this criterion still works for barophiles. As a result, CvP-bias criterion is applicable to disclosing some secrets in the lifestyles of the last common ancestor (LCA), no matter the LCA lived in deep sea or not, which is helpful to building a self-consistent model for the LCA.
