Diversity and subcellular distribution of archaeal secreted proteins [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Secreted proteins make up a significant percentage of a prokaryotic proteome and play critical roles in important cellular processes such as polymer degradation, nutrient uptake, signal transduction, cell wall biosynthesis and motility.

The archaeo-eukaryotic GINS proteins and the archaeal primase catalytic subunit PriS share a common domain [PDF]
Biology Direct, 2010 Primase and GINS are essential factors for chromosomal DNA replication in eukaryotic and archaeal cells. Here we describe a previously undetected relationship between the C-terminal domain of the catalytic subunit (PriS) of archaeal primase and the B ...

Discovery of archaeal fusexins homologous to eukaryotic HAP2/GCS1 gamete fusion proteins
Nature Communications, 2022 Sexual reproduction in eukaryotes involves gamete fusion, mediated by fusogenic proteins. Here, the authors identify fusogenic protein homologs encoded within mobile genetic elements in archaeal genomes, solve the crystal structure of one of the proteins,

Asgard archaea: have we found our microbial ancestors? [PDF]
The EMBO JournalThe discovery of Asgard archaea about a decade ago has greatly reshaped our understanding of archaeal evolution and the origin of eukaryotes. Asgards are currently thought to be the closest prokaryotic relatives of eukaryotes and to represent the ...

Histone diversity in the archaeal domain of life [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsTwo-thirds of all archaea encode histones, proteins that are ubiquitously used to structure chromatin in eukaryotes. Archaeal histone sequences are less conserved than their eukaryotic counterparts, and insight into how they structure DNA is limited to a

The enigmatic archaeal virosphere
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2017 International audienceOne of the most prominent features of archaea is the extraordinary diversity of their DNA viruses. Many archaeal viruses differ substantially in morphology from bacterial and eukaryotic viruses and represent unique virus families ...

Evolutionary conservation of ubiquitin-like protein urmylation as revealed by URM1 gene shuffle from archaea to yeast [PDF]
Communications BiologyUrm1 from yeast is a unique ubiquitin-like protein with dual functionality. It has been shown to operate in tRNA thiolation and protein urmylation, combining features typical of bacterial sulfur carriers and classical ubiquitin-like modifiers.

Comprehensive Bioinformatics Analysis of the Biodiversity of Lsm Proteins in the Archaea Domain
Microorganisms, 2023 The Sm protein superfamily includes Sm, like-Sm (Lsm), and Hfq proteins. Sm and Lsm proteins are found in the Eukarya and Archaea domains, respectively, while Hfq proteins exist in the Bacteria domain.
