An Autonomously Replicating Transforming Vector for Sulfolobus solfataricus [PDF]
ABSTRACT A plasmid able to transform and to be stably maintained both in Sulfolobus solfataricus and in Escherichia coli was constructed by insertion into an E. coli plasmid of the autonomously replicating sequence of the virus particle SSV1 and a suitable ...

Regulation of DNA Topology in Archaea: State of the Art and Perspectives
DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that play a crucial role in regulating DNA supercoiling which affects fundamental biological processes involving DNA. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of regulation of supercoiling by DNA topoisomerases in the third domain of life, the Archaea, with a particular focus on three key model ...

Identification of novel components of the Ced and Ups systems in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A
Abstract In Sulfolobales cells, transcription of the Ups (UV‐inducible pili of Sulfolobus) and Ced (Crenarchaeal system for exchange of DNA) genes is highly induced by DNA damage, and the two systems play key roles in pili‐mediated cell aggregation and chromosomal DNA import, respectively.

Capturing chromosome conformation in Crenarchaea
To fit into cells, chromosomes must be folded. Here we describe how members of the Archaea effect this folding process and how chromosome architecture both influences and is influenced by gene expression. Abstract While there is a considerable body of knowledge regarding the molecular and structural biology and biochemistry of archaeal information ...

Crenarchaeal Sulfolobales organize their genome with small, abundant nucleoid‐associated proteins. Here, we shed light on the distinct function of the Lrs14 family of aspecific DNA‐binding proteins, position these members toward the “chromatin organizing” side of the spectrum of DNA binders and propose a regulatory role for Lrs14s in global gene ...

Regulatory Properties of Glutamate Dehydrogenase from Sulfolobus solfataricus
The purified glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) from Sulfolobus solfataricus showed remarkable thermostability and retained 90-95% of the initial activity after incubation at -20 degrees C, 4 degrees C, and 25 degrees C for up to 6 months. Unlike mammalian GDHs, the activity of GDH from Sulfolobus solfataricus was not significantly affected by the presence ...

Exploiting Archaeal/Thermostable Enzymes in Synthetic Chemistry: Back to the Future?
Thermostable and (hyper)thermophilic enzymes offer important opportunities for innovative, stereoselective and sustainable chemistry transformations. Many of these are archaeal enzymes that have evolved to operate under extreme conditions, including at elevated temperature.
