چکیده
In the euryarchaeal thermoacidophile Picrophilus torridus DSM 9790, we identified a copy of rare tRNA(Ile)(TAT) gene, along with the other 47 tDNAs with the help of our in-house program. Further, tRNAs of P. torridus were also compared with other archaeal thermoacidophiles Thermoplasma acidophilum, T. volcanium, Sulfolobus solfataricus and S. tokodaii.

Characterization of the replication initiator Orc1/Cdc6 from the Archaeon Picrophilus torridus.
Eukaryotic DNA replication is preceded by the assembly of prereplication complexes (pre-RCs) at or very near origins in G1 phase, which licenses origin firing in S phase. The archaeal DNA replication machinery broadly resembles the eukaryal apparatus, though simpler in form. The eukaryotic replication initiator origin recognition complex (ORC), which serially recruits Cdc6 and other pre-RC prot...
متن کاملCharacterization of the MCM homohexamer from the thermoacidophilic euryarchaeon Picrophilus torridus
The typical archaeal MCM exhibits helicase activity independently in vitro. This study characterizes MCM from the euryarchaeon Picrophilus torridus. While PtMCM hydrolyzes ATP in DNA-independent manner, it displays very poor ability to unwind DNA independently, and then too only under acidic conditions. The protein exists stably in complex with PtGINS in whole cell lysates, interacting directly...
متن کاملCharacterization of group II chaperonins from an acidothermophilic archaeon Picrophilus torridus
Chaperonins are a type of molecular chaperone that assist in the folding of proteins. Group II chaperonins play an important role in the proteostasis in the cytosol of archaea and eukarya. In this study, we expressed, purified, and characterized group II chaperonins from an acidothermophilic archaeon Picrophilus torridus. Two genes exist for group II chaperonins, and both of the gene products a...
متن کاملThe Putative Mevalonate Diphosphate Decarboxylase from Picrophilus torridus Is in Reality a Mevalonate-3-Kinase with High Potential for Bioproduction of Isobutene
Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD) is an ATP-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation/decarboxylation of (R)-mevalonate-5-diphosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway. MVD is a key enzyme in engineered metabolic pathways for bioproduction of isobutene, since it catalyzes the conversion of 3-hydroxyisovalerate (3-HIV) to isobutene, an important plat...
متن کاملCharacterization of glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming), a key enzyme of the nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway, from the thermoacidophilic euryarchaeon Picrophilus torridus.
Picrophilus torridus has been shown to degrade glucose via a nonphosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway. Here we report the characterization of a key enzyme of this pathway, glycerate kinase (2-phosphoglycerate forming). The enzyme was purified 5,100-fold to homogeneity. The 95 kDa homodimeric protein catalyzed the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glycerate specifically to 2-phosphoglycer...
