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

From genomes to function: haloarchaea as model organisms [PDF]
Haloarchaea are adapted to high-salt environments and accumulate equally high salt concentrations in the cytoplasm. The genomes of representatives of six haloarchaeal genera have been fully or partially sequenced, allowing the analysis of haloarchaeal propertiesin silico.

Exploiting Archaeal/Thermostable Enzymes in Synthetic Chemistry: Back to the Future?
Thermostable and (hyper)thermophilic enzymes offer important opportunities for innovative, stereoselective and sustainable chemistry transformations. Many of these are archaeal enzymes that have evolved to operate under extreme conditions, including at elevated temperature.
