In vitro evidence suggests that dehydrins are involved in the binding and stabilization of DNA and membranes, as well as in the cryoprotection of proteins. Depicted here are representations of the interactions thought to take place in these scenarios. The K2 dehydrin from Vitis riparia is shown in different conformations that it samples (alone in the center, extended and parallel to DNA, and acting as a crowder around lactate dehydrogenase).
