A Well-Conserved Archaeal B-Family Polymerase Functions as an Extender in Translesion Synthesis

open access: yesmBio, 2022
B-family DNA polymerases (PolBs) of different groups are widespread in Archaea, and different PolBs often coexist in the same organism. Many of these PolB enzymes remain to be investigated.

Cyclic nucleotides in archaea: Cyclic di‐AMP in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii and its putative role

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2019
The role of cyclic nucleotides as second messengers for intracellular signal transduction has been well described in bacteria. One recently discovered bacterial second messenger is cyclic di‐adenylate monophosphate (c‐di‐AMP), which has been demonstrated

Analysis of Cell–Cell Bridges in Haloferax volcanii Using Electron Cryo-Tomography Reveal a Continuous Cytoplasm and S-Layer

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Halophilic archaea have been proposed to exchange DNA and proteins using a fusion-based mating mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy previously suggested that mating involves an intermediate state, where cells are connected by an intercellular bridge ...

Methanogenic archaea in peatlands [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2020
ABSTRACT Methane emission feedbacks in wetlands are predicted to influence global climate under climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. Herein, we review the taxonomy and physiological ecology of the microorganisms responsible for methane production in peatlands.

Roadmap for naming uncultivated Archaea and Bacteria

open access: yesNature Microbiology, 2020
The assembly of single-amplified genomes (SAGs) and metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has led to a surge in genome-based discoveries of members affiliated with Archaea and Bacteria, bringing with it a need to develop guidelines for nomenclature of ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

CRISPR-mediated gene silencing reveals involvement of the archaeal S-layer in cell division and virus infection

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
The S-layer is a proteinaceous envelope often found in bacterial and archaeal cells. Here, the authors use CRISPR-based technology to silence slaB, encoding the S-layer membrane anchor, to show that an intact S-layer is important for cell division and ...

Structure and in situ organisation of the Pyrococcus furiosus archaellum machinery

open access: yeseLife, 2017
The archaellum is the macromolecular machinery that Archaea use for propulsion or surface adhesion, enabling them to proliferate and invade new territories.

Transcription in Archaea [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
Using the sequences of all the known transcription-associated proteins from Bacteria and Eucarya (a total of 4,147), we have identified their homologous counterparts in the four complete archaeal genomes. Through extensive sequence comparisons, we establish the presence of 280 predicted transcription factors or transcription-associated ...

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.
