Generating a Small Shuttle Vector for Effective Genetic Engineering of Methanosarcina mazei Allowed First Insights in Plasmid Replication Mechanism in the Methanoarchaeon. [PDF]
Due to their role in methane production, methanoarchaea are of high ecological relevance and genetic systems have been ever more established in the last two decades. The system for protein expression in Methanosarcina using a comprehensive shuttle vector

Comprehensive analysis of the pre-ribosomal RNA maturation pathway in a methanoarchaeon exposes the conserved circularization and linearization mode in archaea. [PDF]
The ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are generally organized as an operon and cotranscribed into a polycistronic precursor; therefore, processing and maturation of pre-rRNAs are essential for ribosome biogenesis.

Several small proteins have been recently identified in Methanosarcina mazei. By functional and biochemical characterizations, we demonstrated that the small protein sP26 interacts with the glutamine synthetase under nitrogen starvation and enhances its activity by stabilizing the dodecameric structure independently and in addition to the known ...

Thermal adaptation of the archaeal and bacterial lipid membranes. [PDF]
The physiological characteristics that distinguish archaeal and bacterial lipids, as well as those that define thermophilic lipids, are discussed from three points of view that (1) the role of the chemical stability of lipids in the heat tolerance of thermophilic organisms: (2) the relevance of the increase in the proportion of certain lipids as the ...

Comparison of Enzymatic Traits between Native and Recombinant Glycine Sarcosine N-Methyltransferase from Methanohalophilus portucalensis FDF1T. [PDF]
The halophilic methanoarchaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis FDF1T possesses the ability to synthesize the osmolyte betaine from its precursor, glycine, in response to extracellular salt stress through a three-step transmethylation process. Analysis of
