Bacterioopsin-Mediated Regulation of Bacterioruberin Biosynthesis in Halobacterium salinarum [PDF]
ABSTRACT Integral membrane protein complexes consisting of proteins and small molecules that act as cofactors have important functions in all organisms. To form functional complexes, cofactor biosynthesis must be coordinated with the production of corresponding apoproteins. To examine this coordination, we study bacteriorhodopsin

Molecular genetic and physical analysis of gas vesicles in buoyant enterobacteria. [PDF]
Different modes of bacterial taxis play important roles in environmental adaptation, survival, colonization and dissemination of disease. One mode of taxis is flotation due to the production of gas vesicles.

In the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum is present a phospholipid dimer consisting of sulfo-triglycosyl-diether (S-TGD-1) esterified to the phosphate group of phosphatidic acid (PA), i.e., S-TGD-1-PA, called glycocardiolipin (GlyC ...

Experimental characterization of Cis-acting elements important for translation and transcription in Halophilic Archaea [PDF]
Summary The basal transcription apparatus of archaea is well characterized. However, much less is known about the mechanisms of transcription termination and translation initation.

Transcription start site associated RNAs (TSSaRNAs) are ubiquitous in all domains of life.
A plethora of non-coding RNAs has been discovered using high-resolution transcriptomics tools, indicating that transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation is much more complex than previously appreciated.

The crystal structure of Haloferax volcanii proliferating cell nuclear antigen reveals unique surface charge characteristics due to halophilic adaptation [PDF]
Background: The high intracellular salt concentration re quired to maintain a halophilic lifestyle poses challenges to haloarchaeal proteins that must stay soluble, stable and functional in this extreme environment.

The Firegoose: two-way integration of diverse data from different bioinformatics web resources with desktop applications [PDF]
Background Information resources on the World Wide Web play an indispensable role in modern biology. But integrating data from multiple sources is often encumbered by the need to reformat data files, convert between naming systems, or perform ongoing ...

Archaeal S-layer glycoproteins: post-translational modification in the face of extremes [PDF]
Corresponding to the sole or basic component of the surface (S)-layer surrounding the archaeal cell in most known cases, S-layer glycoproteins are in direct contact with the harsh environments that characterize niches where Archaea can thrive ...
