Cells from all three domains of life, Archaea, Bacteria and Eukarya, produce extracellular
vesicles (EVs) which are sometimes associated with filamentous structures known as …

One of the most prominent features of archaea is the extraordinary diversity of their DNA
viruses. Many archaeal viruses differ substantially in morphology from bacterial and …

Asgardarchaeota harbour many eukaryotic signature proteins and are widely considered to
represent the closest archaeal relatives of eukaryotes. Whether similarities between Asgard …

Toxoplasma gondii is a master manipulator capable of effectively siphoning the resources
from the host cell for its intracellular subsistence. However, the molecular underpinnings of …

Viruses are important ecological, biogeochemical, and evolutionary drivers in every
environment. Upon infection, they often cause the lysis of the host cell. However, some …

Spindle-or lemon-shaped viruses infect archaea in diverse environments. Due to the highly
pleomorphic nature of these virions, which can be found with cylindrical tails emanating from …

In contrast to bacteria, all archaea possess cell walls lacking peptidoglycan and a number of
different cell envelope components have also been described. A paracrystalline protein …

Archaea are diverse, ecologically important, single-celled microorganisms. They have
unique functions and features, such as methanogenesis and the composition of their cell …

Archaeal viruses represent one of the most mysterious parts of the global virosphere, with
many virus groups sharing no evolutionary relationship to viruses of bacteria or eukaryotes …

The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) machinery consists of
multiple protein complexes that coordinate vesicle budding away from the host cytosol …
