The canonical single-stranded DNA-binding protein is not an essential replication factor but an RNA chaperon in Saccharolobus islandicus

iScience, 2023
Summary: Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) have been regarded as indispensable replication factors. Herein, we report that the genes encoding the canonical SSB (SisSSB) and the non-canonical SSB (SisDBP) in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A are ...

Redox and Thiols in Archaea [PDF]

Antioxidants, 2020
Low molecular weight (LMW) thiols have many functions in bacteria and eukarya, ranging from redox homeostasis to acting as cofactors in numerous reactions, including detoxification of xenobiotic compounds. The LMW thiol, glutathione (GSH), is found in eukaryotes and many species of bacteria.

Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea

Nature Biotechnology, 2017
We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum Information about Any (x) Sequence (MIxS).

Metagenomes from Coastal Marine Sediments Give Insights into the Ecological Role and Cellular Features of Loki- and Thorarchaeota

mBio, 2019
The genomes of Asgard Archaea, a novel archaeal proposed superphylum, share an enriched repertoire of eukaryotic signature genes and thus promise to provide insights into early eukaryote evolution.

CRISPR-Cas Adaptive Immune Systems of the Sulfolobales: Unravelling Their Complexity and Diversity

Life, 2015
The Sulfolobales have provided good model organisms for studying CRISPR-Cas systems of the crenarchaeal kingdom of the archaea. These organisms are infected by a wide range of exceptional archaea-specific viruses and conjugative plasmids, and their ...

Single-molecule FRET uncovers hidden conformations and dynamics of human Argonaute 2

Nature Communications, 2022
Single-molecule FRET measurements provide detailed insights into the conformational states and dynamics of human Argonaute 2 that are required for its function at the core of the eukaryotic RNA silencing pathway.

The transcriptional regulator EarA and intergenic terminator sequences modulate archaellation in Pyrococcus furiosus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The regulation of archaellation, the formation of archaeal-specific cell appendages called archaella, is crucial for the motility, adhesion, and survival of archaeal organisms.

A Genus Definition for Bacteria and Archaea Based on a Standard Genome Relatedness Index

mBio, 2020
In recent decades, the taxonomy of Bacteria and Archaea, and therefore genus designation, has been largely based on the use of a single ribosomal gene, the 16S rRNA gene, as a taxonomic marker. We propose an approach to delineate genera that excludes the

Anti-CRISPR-Based and CRISPR-Based Genome Editing of Sulfolobus islandicus Rod-Shaped Virus 2

Viruses, 2018
Genetic engineering of viruses has generally been challenging. This is also true for archaeal rod-shaped viruses, which carry linear double-stranded DNA genomes with hairpin ends.

Osmoadaptation and osmoregulation in archaea [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2000
The response of archaea to changes in external NaCl is reviewed and compared to what is known about osmoadaptation and osmoregulation in bacteria and eukaryotes. Cells placed in altered external NaCl exhibit short term and long term responses. The earliest events are likely to be water movement through aquaporin-like channels (efflux if external NaCl ...
