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
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

Growth phenotype analysis of heme synthetic enzymes in a halophilic archaeon, Haloferax volcanii. [PDF]
Halophilic euryarchaea lack many of the genes necessary for the protoporphyrin-dependent heme biosynthesis pathway previously identified in animals and plants.

Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula
Several haloarchaea are reported to be pleomorphic, while others exhibit remarkable shapes, such as squares. Recently, Haloferax volcanii was found to alter its morphology during growth.

A genetic investigation of the KEOPS complex in halophilic Archaea. [PDF]
KEOPS is an important cellular complex conserved in Eukarya, with some subunits conserved in Archaea and Bacteria. This complex was recently found to play an essential role in formation of the tRNA modification threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t(6)A), and was

Transcriptionally active regions in the genome of the archaebacterium Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Transcriptionally active regions of the Haloferax volcanii genome were mapped by hybridization of radiolabeled cDNA to Southern blots of our minimal set of overlapping cosmid clones covering 96% of the 4.1-Mbp genome. Transcription during exponential growth occurred in nearly every region of the 2,920-kbp chromosome.

In vitro Analysis of Ubiquitin-like Protein Modification in Archaea
The ubiquitin-like (Ubl) protein is widely distributed in Archaea and involved in many cellular pathways. A well-established method to reconstitute archaeal Ubl protein conjugation in vitro is important to better understand the process of archaeal Ubl ...

Secondary metabolites (SMs) are essential across all life domains, yet those originating from the Archaea domain remain poorly understood. Here, the systematic genome mining and the pioneering heterologous expression of archaeal SMs have revealed the chemical landscape of archaeal lanthipeptides, showing both canonical and non‐canonical forms.

Kleine Zinkfinger-Proteine in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde das Zinkfinger-µ-Protein HVO_2753 des halophilen Archaeons Haloferax volcanii hinsichtlich seiner biologischen Funktion und seiner Struktur charakterisiert. Zinkfinger-µ-Proteine wurden bisher nur sehr wenig untersucht, während ihnen jedoch in den letzten Jahren steigendes Interesse entgegengebracht wird. Im Genom von H.

Haloferax volcanii cells lacking the flagellin FlgA2 are hypermotile [PDF]
Motility driven by rotational movement of flagella allows bacteria and archaea to seek favourable conditions and escape toxic ones. However, archaeal flagella share structural similarities with bacterial type IV pili rather than bacterial flagella. The Haloferax volcanii genome contains two flagellin genes, flgA1 and flgA2.
