A comparative genomics perspective on the genetic content of the alkaliphilic haloarchaeon Natrialba magadii ATCC 43099T [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Natrialba magadii is an aerobic chemoorganotrophic member of the Euryarchaeota and is a dual extremophile requiring alkaline conditions and hypersalinity for optimal growth. The genome sequence of Nab.

Protein acetylation in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes [PDF]
Proteins can be acetylated at the alpha-amino group of the N-terminal amino acid (methionine or the penultimate amino acid after methionine removal) or at the epsilon-amino group of internal lysines.

MpcT is the transducer for membrane potential changes in Halobacterium salinarum [PDF]
Summary In Halobacterium salinarum mutants containing either of the light‐driven ion pumps bacteriorhodopsin (H + ) or halorhodopsin (Cl – ) as their only retinal protein, a decrease of ...

Halophilic archaea are known to produce a diverse array of pigments for phototrophy and photoprotection. The aim of this paper was to determine the role of a Halobacterium gene encoding the predicted cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP174A1) in pigment ...

Structural conservation of chemotaxis machinery across Archaea and Bacteria [PDF]
Chemotaxis allows cells to sense and respond to their environment. In Bacteria, stimuli are detected by arrays of chemoreceptors that relay the signal to a two-component regulatory system.

Es werde Licht! Licht als Antrieb und Regulator in synthetischen Zellen
Zellen sind Systeme außerhalb des Gleichgewichts, die ihre Eigenschaften in Raum und Zeit regulieren. In biomimetischen synthetischen Zellen bietet Licht eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, Vorgänge räumlich und zeitlich anzutreiben und zu kontrollieren.

Collective exchange processes reveal an active site proton cage in bacteriorhodopsin [PDF]
Proton translocation across membranes is vital to all kingdoms of life. Mechanistically, it relies on characteristic proton flows and modifications of hydrogen bonding patterns, termed protonation dynamics, which can be directly observed by fast magic ...

Let There be Light! Light as an Engine and Regulator in Synthetic Cells
Cells are out‐of‐equilibrium systems that regulate their spatiotemporal features. In biomimetic synthetic cells, light offers a unique way for energizing and regulating events in space and time. This review explores the implementation of light‐responsive tools in synthetic cells to replicate biological functions and enable new bioinspired behaviors ...

Genome-wide analysis of growth phase-dependent translational and transcriptional regulation in halophilic archaea : research article [PDF]
Background Differential expression of genes can be regulated on many different levels. Most global studies of gene regulation concentrate on transcript level regulation, and very few global analyses of differential translational efficiencies exist.
