Histones in crenarchaea.
Archaeal histone-encoding genes have been identified in marine Crenarchaea. The protein encoded by a representative of these genes, synthesized in vitro and expressed in Escherichia coli, binds DNA and forms complexes with properties typical of an archaeal histone. The discovery of histones in Crenarchaea supports the argument that histones evolved before the divergence of Archaea and Eukarya.
متن کاملNucleoid-associated proteins in Crenarchaea.
Architectural proteins play an important role in compacting and organizing the chromosomal DNA in all three kingdoms of life (Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea). These proteins are generally not conserved at the amino acid sequence level, but the mechanisms by which they modulate the genome do seem to be functionally conserved across kingdoms. On a generic level, architectural proteins can be class...
متن کاملViruses of hyperthermophilic Crenarchaea.
Since the discovery of the Archaea--the third domain of life--by Woese and colleagues in 1977, the subsequent developments in molecular and cell biology, and also genomics, have strongly reinforced the view that archaea and eukarya co-evolved, separately from bacteria, over a long time. However, when one examines the archaeal viruses, the picture appears complex. Most viruses that are known to ...
متن کاملNovel lysine methyltransferases in hyperthermophilic crenarchaea
Background Methylation is a common post-translational modification. In proteins, it usually occurs at positively charged lysine or arginine residues and results in an increase to the residue’s pKa and therefore the strength of ionic interactions linked to this residue. Consequently, methylation can be seen as a means by which hydrophilicity, solubility and other protein characteristics can be c...
متن کاملSecreted euryarchaeal microhalocins kill hyperthermophilic crenarchaea.
Few antibiotics targeting members of the archaeal domain are currently available for genetic studies. Since bacterial antibiotics are frequently directed against competing and related organisms, archaea by analogy might produce effective antiarchaeal antibiotics. Peptide antibiotic (halocin) preparations from euryarchaeal halophilic strains S8a, GN101, and TuA4 were found to be toxic for member...
