Biotechnological Uses of Archaeal Proteins. [PDF]
Archaea, 2015 Many industrial/biotechnological processes take place under extreme conditions of temperature, pH, salinity, or pressure which are not suitable for activities of proteins from model eukaryotic or common neutrophilic, mesophilic, and prokaryotic ...

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.

Specificity and Function of Archaeal DNA Replication Initiator Proteins [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2013 Chromosomes with multiple DNA replication origins are a hallmark of Eukaryotes and some Archaea. All eukaryal nuclear replication origins are defined by the origin recognition complex (ORC) that recruits the replicative helicase MCM(2-7) via Cdc6 and ...

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,

Crystal structure of an archaeal CorB magnesium transporter
Nature Communications, 2021 CNNM/CorB proteins are a conserved family of membrane proteins associated with Mg2+ transport. Here, structures of an archaeal CorB protein in apo state and with Mg2+-ATP bound and accompanying biophysical experiments suggest direct Mg2+ transport by ...

Affinity Purification of an Archaeal DNA Replication Protein Network [PDF]
mBio, 2010 Nineteen Thermococcus kodakarensis strains have been constructed, each of which synthesizes a different His6-tagged protein known or predicted to be a component of the archaeal DNA replication machinery.

A Survey of Protein Structures from Archaeal Viruses [PDF]
Life, 2013 Viruses that infect the third domain of life, Archaea, are a newly emerging field of interest. To date, all characterized archaeal viruses infect archaea that thrive in extreme conditions, such as halophilic, hyperthermophilic, and methanogenic ...

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 ...

Structure and function of archaeal histones. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 The genomes of all organisms throughout the tree of life are compacted and organized in chromatin by association of chromatin proteins. Eukaryotic genomes encode histones, which are assembled on the genome into octamers, yielding nucleosomes.

Uncovering the prevalence, key biogenesis enzymes, and biological significance of archaeal lipoproteins [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsLipid-anchored proteins are integral components of cell surfaces. In bacteria, lipidation of proteins with a conserved lipobox motif ([L/V/I]−3 [A/S/T/V/I]−2 [G/A/S]−1 [C]+1) is catalyzed by prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase (Lgt).
