Functional Genomic and Advanced Genetic Studies Reveal Novel Insights into the Metabolism, Regulation, and Biology of Haloferax volcanii
The genome sequence of Haloferax volcanii is available and several comparative genomic in silico studies were performed that yielded novel insight for example into protein export, RNA modifications, small non-coding RNAs, and ubiquitin-like Small Archaeal Modifier Proteins. The full range of functional genomic methods has been established and results from transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolom...
متن کاملDeciphering a pathway of Halobacterium salinarum N-glycosylation
Genomic analysis points to N-glycosylation as being a common posttranslational modification in Archaea. To date, however, pathways of archaeal N-glycosylation have only been described for few species. With this in mind, the similarities of N-linked glycans decorating glycoproteins in the haloarchaea Haloferax volcanii and Halobacterium salinarum directed a series of bioinformatics, genetic, and...
متن کاملDrastic differences in glycosylation of related S-layer glycoproteins from moderate and extreme halophiles.
The outer surface of the moderate halophilic archaebacterium Haloferax volcanii (formerly named Halobacterium volcanii) is covered with a hexagonally packed surface (S) layer glycoprotein. The polypeptide (794 amino acid residues) contains 7 N-glycosylation sites. Four of these sites were isolated as glycopeptides and the structure of one of the corresponding saccharides was determined. Oligosa...
متن کاملHalobacterium volcanii tRNAs. Identification of 41 tRNAs covering all amino acids, and the sequences of 33 class I tRNAs.
Transfer RNAs of Halobacterium volcanii, an archaebacterium, were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and sequenced by a combination of methods. A total of 41 tRNAs, at least one for each amino acid, were identified. These are five tRNAs for Leu, four for Gly, three each for Ala, Arg, Pro, and Ser, two each for Glu, Ile, Lys, Met (initiator and noninitiator), Thr, and Val, and one ...
متن کاملFrom genomes to function: haloarchaea as model organisms.
Haloarchaea are adapted to high-salt environments and accumulate equally high salt concentrations in the cytoplasm. The genomes of representatives of six haloarchaeal genera have been fully or partially sequenced, allowing the analysis of haloarchaeal properties in silico. Transcriptome and proteome analyses have been established for Halobacterium salinarum and Haloferax volcanii. Genetic syste...
