Identification of acetylated diether lipids in halophilic Archaea
As a hallmark of Archaea, their cell membranes are comprised of ether lipids. However, Archaea‐type ether lipids have recently been identified in Bacteria as well, with a somewhat different composition: In Bacillales, sn‐glycerol 1‐phosphate is ...

Phosphorylation and Methylation of Proteasomal Proteins of the HaloarcheonHaloferax volcanii
Proteasomes are composed of 20S core particles (CPs) ofα- andβ-type subunits that associate with regulatory particle AAA ATPases such as the proteasome-activating nucleotidase (PAN) complexes of archaea. In this study, the roles and additional sites of post-translational modification of proteasomes were investigated using the archaeonHaloferax ...

Non‐conserved microRNAs and their roles in plants: the case for legumes
Non‐conserved miRNAs are functional and modulate stress and microbial interactions in legumes, hinting at broader roles in plant gene regulation. Abstract Several classes of small RNAs function to regulate stress and development pathways in all kingdoms of life.

How Small Proteins Adjust the Metabolism of Cyanobacteria Under Stress
Cyanobacteria are powered by oxygenic photosynthesis located in extensive internal membrane systems, the thylakoids. Using carboxysomes, they assimilate organic from inorganic carbon. The integration of photosynthesis, carbon fixation, assimilation of nitrogen, and other nutrients involves several small proteins.

Distinct Patterns of Antibiotic Sensitivities in Ammonia‐Oxidising Archaea
Antibiotic sensitivity varies between different strains of ammonia‐oxidising archaea. The results of this study will be useful for selective enrichment and development of a genetic system for ammonia‐oxidising archaea. ABSTRACT Ammonia‐oxidising archaea (AOA) are important microorganisms contributing towards the nitrogen flux in the environment. Unlike

DNA replication origins in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
DNA replication is fundamental to the proliferation of life. Sites of DNA replication initiation are called replication origins. Bacteria replicate from a single origin whereas eukaryotes utilise multiple origins for each chromosome. The archaeal domain includes species which replicate using multiple origins of replication in addition to those which ...

Overexpression and purification of halophilic proteins inHaloferax volcanii [PDF]
Halophilic enzymes function optimally at high salt concentrations and are active at low water availability. Such conditions are encountered at elevated concentrations of solutes such as salts and sugars, and at high concentrations of organic solvents.

Chromatin and gene regulation in archaea
Recent data from diverse archaea with different repertoires of nucleoid‐associated proteins show a common genome‐wide chromatin organisation where chromatin maintains access to gene promoters independently of transcription activity. Abstract The chromatinisation of DNA by nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) in archaea ‘formats’ the genome structure in ...

Regulation of DNA Topology in Archaea: State of the Art and Perspectives
DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating DNA supercoiling which affects fundamental biological processes involving DNA. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of regulation of supercoiling by DNA topoisomerases in the third domain of life, the Archaea, with a particular focus on three key model ...
