Differences in homologous recombination and maintenance of heteropolyploidy between Haloferax volcanii and Haloferax mediterranei. [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2023 Abstract Polyploidy, the phenomenon of having more than one copy of the genome in an organism, is common among haloarchaea. While providing short-term benefits for DNA repair, polyploidy is generally regarded as an “evolutionary trap” that by the notion of the Muller's ratchet will inevitably conclude in the species' decline or even ...

An expression vector for the archaebacterium Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 The recent development of an efficient transformation method and shuttle vectors for Haloferax volcanii has set the stage for rapid progress in archaebacterial molecular biology. We describe a shuttle-expression vector that can be selected for and maintained in either H.

Motile ghosts of the halophilic archaeon, Haloferax volcanii. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2020 Significance Molecular motors are natural molecular machines that convert chemical energy to directional mechanical motion (e.g., ATP [adenosine-5′-triphosphate]-driven linear motors myosin, kinesin, and dynein in Eukaryotes; the ion-coupled rotary bacterial flagellar motor in Bacteria). Reconstituted systems such as in vitro motility

Translationsinitiationsfaktoren in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 2021 In allen drei Domänen des Lebens ist in der Translation die Initiation der geschwindigkeits-bestimmende Schritt. Die Effizienz der Translationsinitiation und ihre unterschiedliche Regula-tion ist von Translationsinitiationsfaktoren (IFs) abhängig. Bakterien enthalten nur drei IFs, während die Anzahl bei Archaeen (aIFs) und Eukaryoten (eIFs) deutlich ...

Functional genomic and advanced genetic studies reveal novel insights into the metabolism, regulation, and biology of Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 2011 The genome sequence of Haloferax volcanii is available and several comparative genomic in silico studies were performed that yielded novel insight for example into protein export, RNA modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and ubiquitin-like Small ...

Haloferax volcanii—a model archaeon for studying DNA replication and repair [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 The tree of life shows the relationship between all organisms based on their common ancestry. Until 1977, it comprised two major branches: prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Work by Carl Woese and other microbiologists led to the recategorization of prokaryotes

A comprehensive analysis of the importance of translation initiation factors for Haloferax volcanii applying deletion and conditional depletion mutants [PDF]
, 2013 Translation is an important step in gene expression. The initiation of translation is phylogenetically diverse, since currently five different initiation mechanisms are known.

Mechanosensitive Ion Channels of the Archaeon Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 Mechanosensitive (MS) ion channels have been documented in a variety of cells belonging to Eukarya and Eubacteria. We report the novel finding of two types of MS ion channels in the cell membrane of the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii, a member of the Archaea that comprise the third phylogenetic domain.

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.
