The chaperones of the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum
Chaperones are an essential component of a cell's ability to respond to environmental challenges. Chaperones have been studied primarily in bacteria, but in recent years it has become apparent that some classes of chaperones either are very divergent in ...

The first transformation method for the thermo-acidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum
A transformation method yielding up to 10(4) transformants per mu g circular DNA was developed for Thermoplasma acidophilum. The method is based on a natural DNA uptake process in which T. acidophilum cells keep their integrity and turn competent at pH 3.

Primary structure of the thermosome from thermoplasma acidophilum
The thermosome, a chaperonin from the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum, consists of two subunits (M(r) 58 000 and 60 000) which assemble into a cylindrical complex of pseudo eight-fold rotational symmetry.

Lipids of Thermoplasma acidophilum [PDF]
Cells of Thermoplasma acidophilum contain about 3% total lipid on a dry weight basis. Total lipid was found to contain 17.5% neutral lipid, 25.1% glycolipid, and 56.6% phospholipid by chromatography on silicic acid.

Biochemical properties of the proteasome from Thermoplasma acidophilum
We have purified proteasomes to apparent homogeneity from the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum. This proteinase has a molecular mass of about 650 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.6.
