Improved GFP Variants to Study Gene Expression in Haloarchaea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The study of promoter activities in haloarchaea is carried out exclusively using enzymes as reporters. An alternative reporter is the gene encoding the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), a simple and fast tool for investigating promoter strengths. However,

Regulation of DNA Topology in Archaea: State of the Art and Perspectives

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 123, Issue 3, Page 245-264, March 2025.
DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating DNA supercoiling which affects fundamental biological processes involving DNA. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of regulation of supercoiling by DNA topoisomerases in the third domain of life, the Archaea, with a particular focus on three key model ...

Identification of novel components of the Ced and Ups systems in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A

open access: yesmLife, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 17-28, February 2025.
Abstract In Sulfolobales cells, transcription of the Ups (UV‐inducible pili of Sulfolobus) and Ced (Crenarchaeal system for exchange of DNA) genes is highly induced by DNA damage, and the two systems play key roles in pili‐mediated cell aggregation and chromosomal DNA import, respectively.
