Cran1, member of a new class of OLD family ATPases, functions in cell cycle progression in an archaeon [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Overcoming lysogenization defect (OLD) proteins are diverse ATPase-nucleases functioning in antiphage defense in bacteria. However, the role of these proteins in archaea is currently unknown.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Sulfolobales Archaeon AZ1, Obtained Through Metagenomic Analysis of a Mexican Hot Spring.

Genome Announcements, 2014
The Sulfolobales archaea have been found inhabiting acidic hot springs all over the world. Here, we report the 1.798-Mbp draft genome sequence of the thermoacidophilic Sulfolobales archaeon AZ1, reconstructed from the metagenome of a Mexican hot spring ...

Comparative CRISPR type III-based knockdown of essential genes in hyperthermophilic Sulfolobales and the evasion of lethal gene silencing [PDF]

RNA Biology, 2020
CRISPR type III systems, which are abundantly found in archaea, recognize and degrade RNA in their specific response to invading nucleic acids. Therefore, these systems can be harnessed for gene knockdown technologies even in hyperthermophilic archaea to

Virus-borne mini-CRISPR arrays are involved in interviral conflicts

Nature Communications, 2019
Here, the authors investigate the diversity and dynamics of the CRISPRome in the hyperthermophilic archaea of the order Sulfolobales, and find the most abundant spacers to come from mini-CRISPR arrays of archaeal viruses, which might represent a strategy

Towards a molecular picture of the archaeal cell surface [PDF]

Nature Communications
Archaea produce various protein filaments with specialised functions. While some archaea produce only one type of filament, the archaeal model species Sulfolobus acidocaldarius generates four.

Utilization of formic acid by extremely thermoacidophilic archaea species

Microbial Biotechnology
The exploration of novel hosts with the ability to assimilate formic acid, a C1 substrate that can be produced from renewable electrons and CO2, is of great relevance for developing novel and sustainable biomanufacturing platforms.

Trace gas oxidation sustains energy needs of a thermophilic archaeon at suboptimal temperatures [PDF]

Nature Communications
Diverse aerobic bacteria use atmospheric hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) as energy sources to support growth and survival. Such trace gas oxidation is recognised as a globally significant process that serves as the main sink in the biogeochemical ...
