Original Source: Sulfur metabolism in archaea reveals novel processes.
Studies on sulfur metabolism in archaea have revealed many novel enzymes and pathways and have advanced our understanding on metabolic processes, not only of the archaea, but of biology in general. A variety of dissimilatory sulfur metabolisms, i.e. reactions used for energy conservation, are found in archaea from both the Crenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota phyla. Although not yet fully characterized, major processes include aerobic elemental sulfur (S(0) ) oxidation, anaerobic S(0) reduction, anaerobic sulfat...

The use of elemental sulfur as an alternative feedstock for polymeric materials
A new polymerization method for converting elemental sulfur into a chemically stable, processable and electrochemically active copolymer has been described. This methodology — termed inverse vulcani...
New molecular probes that shed light on biological systems
Reactive sulfur species have attracted increasing attention in biomedical research because of their involvement in a variety of physiological functions. There has been a rising interest in sulfane sul...
Iron-Sulfur Enzymes As Candidates For Antibiotic Development
The iron-sulfur protein IspH plays a central role in the terpene metabolism of several pathogens. The mechanism of the reaction provides an approach for developing new antibiotics, particularly agains...
Fool's gold found to regulate oxygen
As sulfur cycles through Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and land, it undergoes chemical changes that are often coupled to changes in other such elements as carbon and oxygen. Although this affects the co...

Thermostable DNA Polymerases that Bypass Lesions in DNA
Lesions in DNA often block DNA polymerases, especially in those polymerases used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Old DNA, such as that from forensic samples, is often damaged and cannot be use...

The thermoacidophiles Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 and S. acidocaldarius 98-3 are considered key model organisms representing a major phylum of the Crenarchaeota. Because maintaining current, accurate g...
Compared to Sulfolobus solfataricus P2, the S. solfataricus mutant PBL2025 misses 50 genes (SSO3004-3050), including genes coding for a multitude of enzymes possibly involved in sugar degradation or m...
Repair of DNA Double-Strand Breaks Following UV Damage in Three Sulfolobus solfataricus Strains.
DNA damage repair mechanisms have been most thoroughly explored in the eubacterial and eukaryotic branches of life. The methods by which members of the archaeal branch repair DNA is significantly less...
Acanthamoeba can propagate on thermophilic Sulfolobus spp.
Acanthamoeba isolation from extreme environments suggests that they may play a role in regulating archaeal densities and contribute to these ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to determine whet...
Protein phosphorylation is known to occur in Archaea. However, knowledge of phosphorylation in the third domain of life is rather scarce. Homology-based searches of archaeal genome sequences reveals t...
