Altered Gut Archaea Composition and Interaction with Bacteria are Associated with Colorectal Cancer.

open access: yesGastroenterology, 2020
BACKGROUND & AIMS Changes in the intestinal microbiota have been associated with development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Archaea are stable components of the microbiota, but little is known about their composition or contribution to ...

The nicotinamide hypothesis revisited—plant defense signaling integrating PARP, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, epigenetics, and glutathione

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nicotinamide (NIC) and nicotinic acid (NIA) are proposed as stress signaling compounds in plants. Oxidative stress may lead to single strand breaks (SSB) in DNA, which activate poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP). NIC and NIA are then formed from NAD. NIC and NIA can promote epigenetic changes leading to the expression of defense genes specific for the ...

At the core of the Archaea. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996
There are three kinds of taxonomists, according to Ernst Mayr (1). Pheneticists group species by overall phenotypic similarity, renouncing evolutionary theory and explanation. Cladists, conversely, concern themselves exclusively with genealogy. Phenotypic resemblance between two taxa (lizards and crocodiles as reptiles, for instance), counts for ...

Wide diversity of methane and short-chain alkane metabolisms in uncultured archaea

open access: yesNature Microbiology, 2019
Methanogenesis is an ancient metabolism of key ecological relevance, with direct impact on the evolution of Earth’s climate. Recent results suggest that the diversity of methane metabolisms and their derivations have probably been vastly underestimated ...

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Archaea make it big [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 1996
There's an old joke that circulates in newsrooms. A reporter rushes up to City Desk and breathlessly tells his editor that he has confirmed the Second Coming of Christ. The editor doesn't want the story. “We had that one already — 2 000 years ago.” If it's news, it has to be the first, the biggest, the oldest or the most, especially in science news. So,

Asgard archaea capable of anaerobic hydrocarbon cycling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Large reservoirs of natural gas in the oceanic subsurface sustain complex communities of anaerobic microbes, including archaeal lineages with potential to mediate oxidation of hydrocarbons such as methane and butane. Here we describe a previously unknown

Characterization of the thermophilic xylanase Fsa02490Xyn from the hyperthermophile Fervidibacter sacchari belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Fervidibacter sacchari is a member of the bacterial phylum Armatimonadota, only a few of which have been cultivated. It is a hyperthermophilic polysaccharide degradation specialist. We show that a secreted enzyme, Fsa02490Xyn, is an endoxylanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10.

Lipid Biology of Archaea

open access: yesArchaea, 2012
Today, there is increasing awareness of the multiple dynamic roles of lipids in cell life. Knowing how lipid molecular species are organized, interact with proteins, and change with environmental stress and metabolic state is crucial to understanding the membrane structure and the cellular functions. The present view of lipid biology arises from

Complex archaea that bridge the gap between prokaryotes and eukaryotes

open access: yesNature, 2015
The origin of the eukaryotic cell remains one of the most contentious puzzles in modern biology. Recent studies have provided support for the emergence of the eukaryotic host cell from within the archaeal domain of life, but the identity and nature of ...
