Archaeal membrane-associated proteases: insights on Haloferax volcanii and other haloarchaea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The function of membrane proteases range from general house-keeping to regulation of cellular processes. Although the biological role of these enzymes in archaea is poorly understood, some of them are implicated in the biogenesis of the archaeal cell ...

Genomic insights on carotenoid synthesis by extremely halophilic archaea Haloarcula rubripromontorii BS2, Haloferax lucentense BBK2 and Halogeometricum borinquense E3 isolated from the solar salterns of India

Scientific Reports
Haloarchaeal cultures were isolated from solar salterns of Goa and Tamil Nadu and designated as BS2, BBK2 and E3. These isolates grew with a characteristic bright orange to pink pigmentation and were capable of growing in media containing upto 25% (w/vol)

The lysis mechanism of the haloarchaeal virus HFTV1

Cell Reports
Summary: Tailed bacteriophages can lyse their host with help of the holin-endolysin system. However, for archaeal tailed viruses (arTVs), whose archaeal hosts have a fundamentally different cell envelope, lysis mechanisms are unknown.

Haloferax volcanii: a versatile model for studying archaeal biology

Journal of Bacteriology
Archaea, once thought limited to extreme environments, are now recognized as ubiquitous and fundamental players in global ecosystems. While morphologically similar to bacteria, they are a distinct domain of life and are evolutionarily closer to ...

Revisiting synthetic lethality of Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) family mutations in Haloferax volcanii

Microbiology Spectrum
Lysine acetylation is a post-translational modification that occurs in all domains of life, highlighting its evolutionary significance. Previous genome comparison identified three Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) family members as lysine ...

Purification and Characterization of Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase from Extremely Halophilic Archaeon Haloferax mediterranei: Key Enzyme of Biodegradable Plastic Synthesis

Bioengineering
The biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer is highly dependent on the activity of a key enzyme, PHA synthase (PhaC). The halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei can accumulate large amounts of PHAs from different carbon sources under ...
