The Effects of Temperature and Growth Phase on the Lipidomes of Sulfolobus islandicus and Sulfolobus tokodaii [PDF]

Life, 2015
The functionality of the plasma membrane is essential for all organisms. Adaption to high growth temperatures imposes challenges and Bacteria, Eukarya, and Archaea have developed several mechanisms to cope with these.

Coordination of chromosome segregation and cell division in the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]

Nature Communications
Despite its fundamental importance for the propagation of all cellular life, very little is known about the molecular basis of chromosome segregation in archaea.

Evolutionary conservation of ubiquitin-like protein urmylation as revealed by URM1 gene shuffle from archaea to yeast [PDF]

Communications Biology
Urm1 from yeast is a unique ubiquitin-like protein with dual functionality. It has been shown to operate in tRNA thiolation and protein urmylation, combining features typical of bacterial sulfur carriers and classical ubiquitin-like modifiers.

Versatile Genetic Tool Box for the Crenarchaeote Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
For reverse genetic approaches inactivation or selective modification of genes are required to elucidate their putative function. Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is a thermoacidophilic Crenarchaeon which grows optimally at 76 °C and pH 3.

Sulfolobus genome: from genomics to biology

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 1998
Major progress in sequencing the genome of Sulfolobus solfataricus has been closely concerted with the characterization and sequencing of many extrachromosomal genetic elements, including viruses, cryptic plasmids and conjugative plasmids, as well as mobile archaeal introns and transposons.

Archaeal GPN-loop GTPases involve a lock-switch-rock mechanism for GTP hydrolysis

mBio, 2023
Three GPN-loop GTPases, GPN1–GPN3, are central to the maturation and trafficking of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. This GTPase family is widely represented in archaea but typically occurs as single paralogs.

First Isolation and Structure Elucidation of GDNT‐β‐Glu – Tetraether Lipid Fragment from Archaeal Sulfolobus Strains

ChemistryOpen, 2021
Due to their special chemical structure, tetraether lipids (TEL) represent essential elements of archaeal membranes, providing these organisms with extraordinary properties.

Chromosome conformation capture assay combined with biotin enrichment for hyperthermophilic archaea

STAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Chromosome organization in archaea has long been enigmatic due, in part, to the typically small cell size of archaea and the extremophilic nature of many of the model archaeal species studies, rendering live-cell imaging technically challenging.

Expression, purification, and characterization of a membrane-associated cyclic oligo-adenylate degrader from Sulfolobus islandicus

STAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Type III CRISPR-cas systems initiate cyclic oligo-adenylate (cOA) signaling to initiate immune response. Previously, we identified that a membrane-associated DHH-DHHA1 family protein from Sulfolobus islandicus efficiently degrades cOA.
