Two membrane-bound transcription factors regulate expression of various type-IV-pili surface structures in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 In Archaea and Bacteria, gene expression is tightly regulated in response to environmental stimuli. In the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius nutrient limitation induces expression of the archaellum, the archaeal motility structure.

Cellular and Genomic Properties of Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the Host of Euryarchaeal Virus HFTV1
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hypersaline environments are the source of many viruses infecting different species of halophilic euryarchaea. Information on infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses is scarce, due to the lack of genetically accessible virus–host models. Recently, a new

Insights into subunit interactions in the
The FEBS Journal, 2013 Archaella are the archaeal motility structure that is the functional pendant of the bacterial flagellum but is assembled by a mechanism similar to that for type IV pili. Recently, it was shown by Banerjee et al. that FlaX, a crenarchaeal archaellum subunit from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, forms a ring‐like oligomer, and it was proposed that this ring ...

Molecular Microbiology, 2016 SummaryOrganisms have evolved motility organelles that allow them to move to favourable habitats. Cells integrate environmental stimuli into intracellular signals to motility machineries to direct this migration. Many motility organelles are complex surface appendages that have evolved a tight, hierarchical regulation of expression.

Decipering the subunit interaction in the crenarchaeal archaellum
, 2015 The archaeal motility structure, the archaellum is an intriguing hybrid of the function and architecture of two distinct motility organelles, the bacterial flagellum and the T4P, respectively. This rotating T4P is an astonishing example of evolutionary adaptation and represents indeed a unique, third way to move.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In the crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, the archaellum, a type-IV pilus like motility structure, is synthesized in response to nutrient starvation. Synthesis of components of the archaellum is controlled by the archaellum regulatory network (arn).

Living electronics: A catalogue of engineered living electronic components
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 16, Issue 3, Page 507-533, March 2023., 2023 Biology leverages a range of electrical phenomena to extract and store energy, control molecular reactions and enable multicellular communication. Recently, the microbial machinery enabling these redox reactions have been leveraged for interfacing cells and biomolecules with electrical circuits for biotechnological applications.

Putative Extracellular Electron Transfer in Methanogenic Archaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 It has been suggested that a few methanogens are capable of extracellular electron transfers. For instance, Methanosarcina barkeri can directly capture electrons from the coexisting microbial cells of other species.

Horizontal gene transfer of the functional archaellum machinery to Bacteria [PDF]
Motility in Archaea is driven by a nanomachinery called the archaellum. So far, archaella have been exclusively described for the archaeal domain; however, a recent study reported the presence of archaellum gene clusters in bacterial strains of the SAR202 clade (Chloroflexota).
