چکیده
The hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis strain NS-C, first isolated in 1985, has been a foundational organism for archaeal research in biocatalysis, DNA replication, metabolism, and the discovery of inteins. Here, we present the genome sequence of T. litoralis with a focus on the replication machinery and inteins.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis.
Pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis has been crystallized in a form suitable for X-ray diffraction from ammonium sulfate or ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate using the vapour-phase diffusion method. Crystals from both precipitants are of the orthorhombic space group P21212 with unit-cell dimensions a = 94.06, b = 149.06, c = 73.54 A. A comp...
متن کاملA novel NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase with a unique domain structure in the hyperthermophilic Archaeon, Thermococcus litoralis.
Thermococcus litoralis, a hyperthermophilic Archaeon, is able to reduce elemental sulfur during fermentative growth. An unusual gene cluster (nsoABCD) was identified in this organism. In silico analysis suggested that three of the genes (nsoABC) probably originated from Eubacteria and one gene (nsoD) from Archaea. The putative NsoA and NsoB are similar to NuoE- and NuoF-type electron transfer p...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Thermococcus sp. strain 4557, a hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent area.
Thermococcus sp. strain 4557 is a hyperthermophilic anaerobic archaeon isolated from the deep-sea hydrothermal vent Guaymas Basin site in the Gulf of California at a depth of 2,000 m. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Thermococcus sp. 4557, which consists of a single circular chromosome of 2,011,320 bp with a G+C content of 56.08%.
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of the hyperthermophilic, piezophilic, heterotrophic, and carboxydotrophic archaeon Thermococcus barophilus MP.
Thermococcus barophilus is a hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, mixed heterotrophic, and carboxydotrophic euryarchaeon isolated from the deep sea hydrothermal vent Snakepit site on the mid-Atlantic ridge at a depth of 3,550 m. T. barophilus is the first true piezophilic, hyperthermophilic archaeon isolated, having an optimal growth at 40 MPa. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain MP,...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of a Hyperthermophilic Archaeon, Thermococcus nautili 30-1, That Produces Viral Vesicles
Thermococcus nautili 30-1 (formerly Thermococcus nautilus), an anaerobic hyperthermophilic marine archaeon, was isolated in 1999 from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent during the Amistad campaign. Here, we present the complete sequence of T. nautili, which is able to produce membrane vesicles containing plasmid DNA. This property makes T. nautili a model organism to study horizontal gene transfer.
