Polarity in archaeal operon transcription in Thermococcus kodakaraensis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An in vivo archaeal gene reporter system has been established based on TK1761, a gene that encodes a nonessential beta-glycosidase in Thermococcus kodakaraensis. Following the introduction of nonsense codons into promoter-proximal genes, polarity in operon expression in this archaeon has been established by both microarray hybridization assays and a reporter gene expression system.

First characterization of an archaeal GTP-dependent phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1.
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK), which catalyzes the nucleotide-dependent, reversible decarboxylation of oxaloacetate to yield phosphoenolpyruvate and CO2, is one of the important enzymes in the interconversion between C3 and C4 metabolites. This study focused on the first characterization of the enzymatic properties and expression profile of an archaeal PCK from the hyperthermophilic a...
متن کاملCharacterization of DNA primase complex isolated from the archaeon, Thermococcus kodakaraensis.
In most organisms, DNA replication is initiated by DNA primases, which synthesize primers that are elongated by DNA polymerases. In this study, we describe the isolation and biochemical characterization of the DNA primase complex and its subunits from the archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis. The T. kodakaraensis DNA primase complex is a heterodimer containing stoichiometric levels of the p41 an...
متن کاملLETTERS Transcription and Translation are Coupled in Archaea
The presence or absence of a nuclear membrane has historically been used as a taxonomic feature to divide all life into 2 groups, eukaryotes or prokaryotes, respectively. However, there is now very substantial molecular support for 3 primary phylogenetic domains (Woese 2000), and the classical definition of a prokaryote applies to both Bacteria and Archaea. Given that Bacteria and Archaea do no...
متن کاملDescription of Thermococcus kodakaraensis sp. nov., a well studied hyperthermophilic archaeon previously reported as Pyrococcus sp. KOD1.
A hyperthermophilic archaeal strain, KOD1, isolated from a solfatara on Kodakara Island, Japan, has previously been reported as Pyrococcus sp. KOD1. However, a detailed phylogenetic tree, made possible by the recent accumulation of 16S rRNA sequences of various species in the order Thermococcales, indicated that strain KOD1 is a member of the genus Thermococcus. We performed DNA-DNA hybridizati...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of DNA repair in the hyperthermophilic archaeon, Thermococcus kodakaraensis.
Extensive biochemical and structural analyses have been performed on the putative DNA repair proteins of hyperthermophilic archaea, in contrast to the few genetic analyses of the genes encoding these proteins. Accordingly, little is known about the repair pathways used by archaeal cells at high temperature. Here, we attempted to disrupt the genes encoding the potential repair proteins in the ge...
