Zinc-Dependent Oligomerization of Thermus thermophilus Trigger Factor Chaperone [PDF]
Biology, 2021 Thermus thermophilus trigger factor (TtTF) is a zinc-dependent molecular chaperone whose folding-arrest activity is regulated by Zn2+. However, little is known about the mechanism of zinc-dependent regulation of the TtTF activity.

Site-directed mutation of a laccase from Thermus thermophilus: Effect on the activity profile [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 A site-directed mutant R453T of a laccase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 (Tth-laccase) was constructed in order to investigate the effect on laccase catalytic properties. The mutated gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli.

New Viruses Infecting Hyperthermophilic Bacterium Thermus thermophilus [PDF]
VirusesHighly diverse phages infecting thermophilic bacteria of the Thermus genus have been isolated over the years from hot springs around the world. Many of these phages are unique, rely on highly unusual developmental strategies, and encode novel enzymes ...

Development of new Thermus thermophilus—Escherichia coli shuttle vectors [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyGenomic analysis revealed numerous plasmids in Thermus thermophilus strains isolated from the Senami Hot Spring in Japan. Five plasmids contained putative replication proteins (REP proteins) distinct from the pTT8-type commonly used in T.

Superoxide Dismutase and Pseudocatalase Increase Tolerance to Hg(II) in
mBio, 2019 Mercury (Hg) is a widely distributed, toxic heavy metal with no known cellular role. Mercury toxicity has been linked to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but Hg does not directly perform redox chemistry with oxygen.

Transferable denitrification capability of thermus thermophilus [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 Laboratory-adapted strains of Thermus spp. have been shown to require oxygen for growth, including the model strains T. thermophilus HB27 and HB8. In contrast, many isolates of this species that have not been intensively grown under laboratory conditions
