Lipids of Archaeal Viruses [PDF]

Archaea, 2012
Archaeal viruses represent one of the least known territory of the viral universe and even less is known about their lipids. Based on the current knowledge, however, it seems that, as in other viruses, archaeal viral lipids are mostly incorporated into membranes that reside either as outer envelopes or membranes inside an icosahedral capsid.

Lipidomic chemotaxonomy aligned with phylogeny of Halobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Archaea play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles and are considered ancestral to eukaryotes. The unique lipid composition of archaea, characterized by isoprenoid alkyl chains and ether linkage to glycerol-1-phosphate, offers valuable ...

A Novel Approach to Characterize the Lipidome of Marine Archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus by Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Archaea are differentiated from the other two domains of life by their biomolecular characteristics. One such characteristic is the unique structure and composition of their lipids.

Structural and Functional Insights into an Archaeal Lipid Synthase [PDF]

Cell Reports, 2020
The UbiA superfamily of intramembrane prenyltransferases catalyzes an isoprenyl transfer reaction in the biosynthesis of lipophilic compounds involved in cellular physiological processes. Digeranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate (DGGGP) synthase (DGGGPase) generates unique membrane core lipids for the formation of the ether bond between the glycerol moiety ...

Non-Polar Lipids as Regulators of Membrane Properties in Archaeal Lipid Bilayer Mimics [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
The modification of archaeal lipid bilayer properties by the insertion of apolar molecules in the lipid bilayer midplane has been proposed to support cell membrane adaptation to extreme environmental conditions of temperature and hydrostatic pressure.

Lipidomic diversity and proxy implications of archaea from cold seep sediments of the South China Sea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Cold seeps on the continental margins are characterized by intense microbial activities that consume a large portion of methane by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) through anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM).

Cytoplasmic Lipid Membrane Biogenesis in Prokaryotes: From Soluble Lipid Building Blocks to a Dynamic and Functional Boundary Layer [PDF]

Chembiochem
Lipid membranes are fundamental to all prokaryotic life. Besides acting as barrier, by orienting as hydrophobic bilayer, lipids are involved in a wide variety of other cellular processes. As a consequence, prokaryotic membranes are dynamic entities that switch their lipid composition as required; a process that requires tight interplay with the lipid ...

Quantitative Analysis of Core Lipid Production in Methanothermobacter marburgensis at Different Scales

Bioengineering, 2022
Archaeal lipids have a high biotechnological potential, caused by their high resistance to oxidative stress, extreme pH values and temperatures, as well as their ability to withstand phospholipases.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next-Generation Biomedical Platforms. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Characterisation of a synthetic Archeal membrane reveals a possible new adaptation route to extreme conditions

Communications Biology, 2021
By studying the properties of a synthetic membrane mimicking an archaeal membrane and containing the apolar polyisoprenoid squalane, Salvador-Castell et al. show that lipid bilayer stability and functionality are shifted to higher temperatures under high
