Electron cryo-microscopy reveals the structure of the archaeal thread filament
Nature Communications, 2022 Pili are filamentous appendages on the surface of bacteria and archaea, and play roles in multiple processes such as adhesion, motility and horizontal gene transfer. Here, Gaines et al. describe the structure of a new type of pilus, termed ‘thread’, from

Biological Membranes in Extreme Conditions: Simulations of Anionic Archaeal Tetraether Lipid Membranes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In contrast to the majority of organisms that have cells bound by di-ester phospholipids, archaeal membranes consist of di- and tetraether phospholipids.

mBio, 2020 The UV-inducible pili system of Sulfolobales (Ups) mediates the formation of species-specific cellular aggregates. Within these aggregates, cells exchange DNA to repair DNA double-strand breaks via homologous recombination. Substitution of the Sulfolobus

Structural basis of RNA polymerase inhibition by viral and host factors
Nature Communications, 2021 Understanding the structural basis for the inhibition of archaeal eukaryotic-like RNA polymerases (RNAPs) during virus infection is of interest for drug design.

Two membrane-bound transcription factors regulate expression of various type-IV-pili surface structures in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 In Archaea and Bacteria, gene expression is tightly regulated in response to environmental stimuli. In the thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius nutrient limitation induces expression of the archaellum, the archaeal motility structure.

Ultrastructural Characteristics of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
Microbiology, 1982 Summary: Isolates of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius from thermal areas in the United States and New Zealand were examined. Cell shape was growth phase-dependent and pleomorphism was more characteristic of certain isolates than of others. Cells prepared for electron microscopy by means which avoided centrifugation exhibited the lobate structure typical of ...

Heat shock response in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and first implications for cross-stress adaptation.
Research in Microbiology, 2023 Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, a thermoacidophilic crenarchaeon, frequently encounters temperature fluctuations, oxidative stress, and nutrient limitations in its environment.

A Second Terminal Oxidase in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1994 We previously found that the soxABCD operon encodes a quinol oxidase complex in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and this enzyme was purified and characterized. In this study, we have used a cloning procedure based on the conservation of oxidase sequences and the polymerase chain reaction to isolate a new gene (soxM) encoding a subunit of another terminal ...
