Thermococcus kodakarensis encodes three MCM homologs but only one is essential
The minichromosome maintenance (MCM) complex is thought to function as the replicative helicase in archaea and eukaryotes. In eukaryotes, this complex is an assembly of six different but related polypeptides (MCM2-7) but, in most archaea, one MCM protein assembles to form a homohexameric complex. Atypically, the Thermococcus kodakarensis genome encodes three archaeal MCM homologs, here designat...
متن کاملThermococcus kodakarensis DNA replication.
DNA replication plays an essential role in all life forms. Research on archaeal DNA replication began approximately 20 years ago. Progress was hindered, however, by the lack of genetic tools to supplement the biochemical and structural studies. This has changed, however, and genetic approaches are now available for several archaeal species. One of these organisms is the thermophilic euryarchaeo...
متن کاملGenetics Techniques for Thermococcus kodakarensis
Thermococcus kodakarensis (T. kodakarensis) has emerged as a premier model system for studies of archaeal biochemistry, genetics, and hyperthermophily. This prominence is derived largely from the natural competence of T. kodakarensis and the comprehensive, rapid, and facile techniques available for manipulation of the T. kodakarensis genome. These genetic capacities are complemented by robust p...

Title of Document: THERMOCOCCUS KODAKARENSIS DNA REPLICATION MACHINERY Miao Pan, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor Zvi Kelman, Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research DNA replication is the basis for the propagation and evolution of living organisms. It requires the combined efforts of numerous proteins. DNA replication in archaea has been shown to be more similar to eukarya than b...
متن کاملAn archaeal histone is required for transformation of Thermococcus kodakarensis.
Archaeal histones wrap DNA into complexes, designated archaeal nucleosomes, that resemble the tetrasome core of a eukaryotic nucleosome. Therefore, all DNA interactions in vivo in Thermococcus kodakarensis, the most genetically versatile model species for archaeal research, must occur in the context of a histone-bound genome. Here we report the construction and properties of T. kodakarensis str...
