DPANN symbiont of Haloferax volcanii accelerates xylan degradation by the non-host haloarchaeon Halorhabdus sp. [PDF]

iScience
Summary: This study examines a natural consortium of halophilic archaea, comprising xylan-degrading Halorhabdus sp. SVX81, consortium cohabitant Haloferax volcanii SVX82 (formerly H. lucentense SVX82), and its DPANN ectosymbiont Ca.

Investigation of the global translational response to oxidative stress in the model archaeon Haloferax volcanii reveals untranslated small RNAs with ribosome occupancy [PDF]

mSphere
Oxidative stress induces a wide range of cellular damage, often causing disease and cell death. While many organisms are susceptible to the effects of oxidative stress, haloarchaea have adapted to be highly resistant.

Cellular and Genomic Properties of Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the Host of Euryarchaeal Virus HFTV1

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hypersaline environments are the source of many viruses infecting different species of halophilic euryarchaea. Information on infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses is scarce, due to the lack of genetically accessible virus–host models. Recently, a new

A Small RNA Is Linking CRISPR–Cas and Zinc Transport

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
The function and mode of action of small regulatory RNAs is currently still understudied in archaea. In the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii, a plethora of sRNAs have been identified; however, in-depth functional analysis is missing for most of ...

AglQ is a novel component of the Haloferax volcanii N-glycosylation pathway. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification performed by members of all three domains of life. Studies on the halophile Haloferax volcanii have offered insight into the archaeal version of this universal protein-processing event.

The Archaeal Proteome Project advances knowledge about archaeal cell biology through comprehensive proteomics

Nature Communications, 2020
While archaeal proteomics advanced rapidly, a comprehensive proteome database for archaea is lacking. Therefore, the authors here launch the Archaeal Proteome Project, a community-effort providing insights into archaeal cell biology via the combined ...

Haloferax volcanii Immersed Liquid Biofilms Develop Independently of Known Biofilm Machineries and Exhibit Rapid Honeycomb Pattern Formation

mSphere, 2020
The ability to form biofilms is shared by many microorganisms, including archaea. Cells in a biofilm are encased in extracellular polymeric substances that typically include polysaccharides, proteins, and extracellular DNA, conferring protection while ...

Translational coupling via termination-reinitiation in archaea and bacteria

Nature Communications, 2019
Archaea and bacteria often have gene pairs with overlapping stop and start codons, suggesting translational coupling. Here, Huber et al. analyse overlapping gene pairs from 720 genomes, and validate translational coupling via termination-reinitiation for
