Two Decades of Optogenetic Tools: A Retrospective and a Look Ahead
Optogenetics provides up to millisecond scale, cell type‐specific control of biology using light‐sensitive proteins. This review chronicles two decades of tool development, from microbial rhodopsins and photoactivated enzymes to allosteric switches, surveys broad applications in neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, cardiology, immunology, and ...

Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

A Spotlight on Archaea in Humans, Livestock and Poultry: A Review
The microbiota includes prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria) and eukaryotes. Archaea are single‐celled prokaryotes and essential part of gut microbiome. Researches on archaea in ruminants and humans are more than mono‐gastric. The low abundance of archaea in the gut depends on the method used (metagenomics or meta‐transcriptomic) and age of people or ...

Chromatin and gene regulation in archaea
Recent data from diverse archaea with different repertoires of nucleoid‐associated proteins show a common genome‐wide chromatin organisation where chromatin maintains access to gene promoters independently of transcription activity. Abstract The chromatinisation of DNA by nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) in archaea ‘formats’ the genome structure in ...

Identification of a system required for the functional surface localization of sugar binding proteins with class III signal peptides in Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus contains an unusual large number of sugar binding proteins that are synthesized as precursors with a class III signal peptide.

Methanosarcina acetivorans possesses extensive signal transduction systems, including 53 histidine kinases and 15, mainly REC‐only, response regulators. All recombinant versions of representative kinase types except MA_type 2 showed autokinase activity.

Identification of the arginine/ornithine antiporter ArcD from Halobacterium salinarum [PDF]
This paper identifies the first arginine/ornithine antiporter ArcD from the domain of archea. The functional role of ArcD is demonstrated by transport assays with radioactive labelled arginine, by its necessity to enable arginine fermentation under anaerobic growth conditions and by the consumption of arginine from the medium during growth.

Insights from super‐resolution microscopy: Channelrhodopsin‐2 (ChR2), a widely used optogenetic tool, forms dimers, not higher oligomers, in human cell membranes. Disruption of inter‐protein disulfide bonds leads to partial ChR2 monomerization, particularly in cells with lower ChR2 densities.

The separation between mRNA‐ends is more variable than expected
Both mRNA ends are in proximity despite mRNAs origin, length and secondary or tertiary structures. However, we show that the distance between native mRNA ends is not constant and varies across organisms. We found that native sequences show much larger variations than those observed in random sequences, implying the existence of a biological mechanism ...
