Control of cyclic oligoadenylate synthesis in a type III CRISPR system
The CRISPR system for prokaryotic adaptive immunity provides RNA-mediated protection from viruses and mobile genetic elements. When viral RNA transcripts are detected, type III systems adopt an activated state that licenses DNA interference and synthesis

Urea (Ua) is produced in DNA as the result of oxidative damage to thymine and guanine. It was previously reported that Klenow fragment (Kf) exo− incorporated dATP opposite Ua, and that DNA polymerase β was blocked by Ua.

An affitin derived from the Sac7d scaffold enables the light‐controlled affinity purification of antibodies under physiological conditions, thus overcoming limitations of protein A chromatography. X‐ray crystallographic analysis and affinity measurements reveal complex formation with Fc at the CH2/CH3 junction, similar to protein A/G and FnRn. Combined

Revisit to the biodesulfurization capability of hyperthermophilic archeon Sulfolobus Solfataricus P2 revealed DBT consumption by the organism in an oil/water two-phase liquid system at high temperatures [PDF]
The ability of hyperthermophilic archaeon, Sulfolobus solfataricus P2, to grow on organic and inorganic sulfur sources was investigated. A sulfur free mineral medium has been employed with different sources of carbon.

A Spotlight on Archaea in Humans, Livestock and Poultry: A Review
The microbiota includes prokaryotes (archaea and bacteria) and eukaryotes. Archaea are single‐celled prokaryotes and essential part of gut microbiome. Researches on archaea in ruminants and humans are more than mono‐gastric. The low abundance of archaea in the gut depends on the method used (metagenomics or meta‐transcriptomic) and age of people or ...

Inducible and constitutive promoters for genetic systems in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius [PDF]
Central to genetic work in any organism are the availability of a range of inducible and constitutive promoters. In this work we studied several promoters for use in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. The promoters were tested with

Distinct Patterns of Antibiotic Sensitivities in Ammonia‐Oxidising Archaea
Antibiotic sensitivity varies between different strains of ammonia‐oxidising archaea. The results of this study will be useful for selective enrichment and development of a genetic system for ammonia‐oxidising archaea. ABSTRACT Ammonia‐oxidising archaea (AOA) are important microorganisms contributing towards the nitrogen flux in the environment. Unlike

hSSB1 interacts directly with the MRN complex stimulating its recruitment to DNA double-strand breaks and its endo-nuclease activity [PDF]
hSSB1 is a recently discovered single-stranded DNA binding protein that is essential for efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the homologous recombination pathway.
