چکیده
Halorhodospira halophila is among the most halophilic organisms known. It is an obligately photosynthetic and anaerobic purple sulfur bacterium that exhibits autotrophic growth up to saturated NaCl concentrations. The type strain H. halophila SL1 was isolated from a hypersaline lake in Oregon. Here we report the determination of its entire genome in a single contig. This is the first genome of a phototrophic extreme halophile. The genome consists of 2,678,452 bp, encoding 2,493 predicted genes as determined by automated genome annotation. Of the 2,407 predicted proteins, 1,905 were assigned to a putative function. Future detailed analysis of this genome promises to yield insights into the halophilic adaptations of this organism, its ability for photoautotrophic growth under extreme conditions, and its characteristic sulfur metabolism.

De novo sequence analysis of N-terminal sulfonated peptides after in-gel guanidination.
In this protocol, we describe an approach in which two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE)-separated proteins are guanidinated in-gel prior to enzymatic cleavage. In contrast to previously described techniques, this procedure allows the extracted tryptic peptides to be N-terminally sulfonated without any further sample purification. The protocol was applied on a proteomic study of 2DE-separated p...

Members of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae form a distinct lineage from Chromatiaceae on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (Imhoff and Süling, 1996). Among the 13 genera recognized in the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae, only 4 genera (Ectothiorhodosinus, Ectothiorhodospira, Halorhodospira and Thiorhodospira) are represented by members of true phototrophic species (http://www.bacteri...
متن کامل1H, 13C, and 15N resonance assignment of photoactive yellow protein
Photoactive yellow protein (PYP) is involved in the negative phototactic response towards blue light of the bacterium Halorhodospira halophila. Here, we report nearly complete backbone and side chain (1)H, (13)C and (15)N resonance assignments at pH 5.8 and 20 °C of PYP in its electronic ground state.
متن کاملLife at high salt concentrations, intracellular KCl concentrations, and acidic proteomes
Extremely halophilic microorganisms that accumulate KCl for osmotic balance (the Halobacteriaceae, Salinibacter) have a large excess of acidic amino acids in their proteins. This minireview explores the occurrence of acidic proteomes in halophiles of different physiology and phylogenetic affiliation. For fermentative bacteria of the order Halanaerobiales, known to accumulate KCl, an acidic prot...
متن کاملToxic introns and parasitic intein in Coxiella burnetii: legacies of a promiscuous past.
The genome of the obligate intracellular pathogen Coxiella burnetii contains a large number of selfish genetic elements, including two group I introns (Cbu.L1917 and Cbu.L1951) and an intervening sequence that interrupts the 23S rRNA gene, an intein (Cbu.DnaB) within dnaB and 29 insertion sequences. Here, we describe the ability of the intron-encoded RNAs (ribozymes) to retard bacterial growth ...
