Bactofilins are rigid, nonpolar bacterial cytoskeletal filaments that link cellular processes to
specific curvatures of the cytoplasmic membrane. Although homologs of bactofilins have …

CetZ proteins are archaea-specific homologs of the cytoskeletal proteins FtsZ and tubulin. In
the pleomorphic archaeon Haloferax volcanii, CetZ1 contributes to the development of rod …

The response of the haloarchaeal model organism Haloferax volcanii to iron starvation was
analyzed at the proteome level by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry. Cells …

In bacteria and archaea, proteins of the ParA/MinD family of ATPases regulate the
spatiotemporal organization of various cellular cargoes, including cell division proteins …

The model haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii is polyploid with about 20 copies of its major
chromosome. Recently it has been described that highly efficient intermolecular gene …

Archaeal molecular biology has been a topic of intense research in recent decades as their
role in global ecosystems, nutrient cycles, and eukaryotic evolution comes to light. The …

Many prokaryotes use swimming motility to move toward favorable conditions and escape
adverse surroundings. Regulatory mechanisms governing bacterial flagella-driven motility …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of intercellular communication that enables microbes
to alter gene expression and adapt to the environment. This cell-cell signaling is necessary …

Haloferax volcanii harbours four putative proviruses: Halfvol1, Halfvol2, Halfvol3 and
Halfvol4. In this study we successfully deleted all four provirus genomes, demonstrating, that …

Many archaea appear to divide through the coordinated activities of two distinct FtsZ
homologues, FtsZ1 and FtsZ2, and another bacterial cell division homologue, SepF, which …
