A genetic investigation of the KEOPS complex in halophilic Archaea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 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

RadB acts in homologous recombination in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, consistent with a role as recombination mediator [PDF]
, 2017 Homologous recombination plays a central role in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks, the restart of stalled replication forks and the generation of genetic diversity.

The discovery of CRISPR in archaea and bacteria [PDF]
, 2016 CRISPR-Cas are self-/nonself-discriminating systems found in prokaryotic cells. They represent a remarkable example of molecular memory that is hereditarily transmitted.

Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula
Microorganisms, 2021 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.

PCNA-binding proteins in the archaea : novel functionality beyond the conserved core [PDF]
, 2016 Sliding clamps play an essential role in coordinating protein activity in DNA metabolism in all three domains of life. In eukaryotes and archaea the sliding clamp is PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen).

In vitro Analysis of Ubiquitin-like Protein Modification in Archaea
Bio-Protocol, 2018 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 ...

Autocatalytic maturation of the Tat-dependent halophilic subtilase Nep produced by the archaeon Natrialba magadii [PDF]
, 2012 Halolysins are subtilisin-like extracellular proteases produced by haloarchaea that possess unique protein domains and are salt dependent for structural integrity and functionality. In contrast to bacterial subtilases, thematurationmechanismof halolysins

Regulated Iron Siderophore Production of the Halophilic Archaeon Haloferax volcanii. [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2020 Iron is part of many redox and other enzymes and, thus, it is essential for all living beings. Many oxic environments have extremely low concentrations of free iron. Therefore, many prokaryotic species evolved siderophores, i.e., small organic molecules that complex Fe3+ with very high affinity.

A rhomboid protease gene deletion affects a novel oligosaccharide N-linked to the S-layer glycoprotein of Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
, 2014 Rhomboid proteases occur in all domains of life; however, their physiological role is not completely understood, and nothing is known of the biology of these enzymes in Archaea. One of the two rhomboid homologs of Haloferax volcanii (RhoII) is fused to a

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 ...
