A Neighbour-joining tree for the thermopsin family A5.

open access: yes, 2013
The tree was generated from the alignment of peptidase domains using FastTree. Labels are species names and sequence identifiers from the MEROPS database. Classification is indicated by coloured dots: yellow = Sulfolobales; red = Euryarchaeota; dark blue

An ancient family of SelB elongation factor-like proteins with a broad but disjunct distribution across archaea

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background SelB is the dedicated elongation factor for delivery of selenocysteinyl-tRNA to the ribosome. In archaea, only a subset of methanogens utilizes selenocysteine and encodes archaeal SelB (aSelB).

Cell Structure Changes in the Hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon Sulfolobus islandicus Lacking the S-Layer

open access: yesmBio, 2019
Rediscovery of the ancient evolutionary relationship between archaea and eukaryotes has revitalized interest in archaeal cell biology. Key to the understanding of archaeal cells is the surface layer (S-layer), which is commonly found in Archaea but whose

Insights into Archaeal Evolution and Symbiosis from the Genomes of a Nanoarchaeon and its Inferred Crenarchaeal Host from Obsidian Pool, Yellowstone National Park [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: A single cultured marine organism, Nanoarchaeum equitans, represents the Nanoarchaeota branch of symbiotic Archaea, with a highly reduced genome and unusual features such as multiple split genes.

SMV1 virus-induced CRISPR spacer acquisition from the conjugative plasmid pMGB1 in Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Organisms of the crenarchaeal order Sulfolobales carry complex CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) adaptive immune systems.

Phylogenomic analysis of proteins that are distinctive of Archaea and its main subgroups and the origin of methanogenesis

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2007
Background The Archaea are highly diverse in terms of their physiology, metabolism and ecology. Presently, very few molecular characteristics are known that are uniquely shared by either all archaea or the different main groups within archaea.

Cbp1 and Cren7 form chromatin-like structures that ensure efficient transcription of long CRISPR arrays

open access: yesNature Communications
CRISPR arrays form the physical memory of CRISPR adaptive immune systems by incorporating foreign DNA as spacers that are often AT-rich and derived from viruses. As promoter elements such as the TATA-box are AT-rich, CRISPR arrays are prone to harbouring

Coupling chromosome organization to genome segregation in Archaea

open access: yesNature Communications
Chromosome segregation is a fundamental process in all life forms and requires coordination with genome organization, replication and cell division. The mechanism that mediates chromosome segregation in archaea remains enigmatic.
