Viruses of archaea represent one of the most enigmatic parts of the virosphere. Most of the
characterized archaeal viruses infect extremophilic hosts and display remarkable diversity of …

This review presents a personal account of research on archaeal viruses and describes
many new viral species and families, demonstrating that viruses of Archaea constitute a …

The expanding field of precision gene editing is empowering researchers to directly modify
DNA. Gene editing is made possible using synonymous technologies: a DNA-binding …

The Archaea—and their viruses—remain the most enigmatic of life's three domains. Once
thought to inhabit only extreme environments, archaea are now known to inhabit diverse …

The ability of organisms to sense and respond to their environment is essential to their
survival. This is no different for members of the third domain of life, the Archaea. Archaea are …

The genus Sulfolobus includes microorganisms belonging to the domain Archaea, sub-
kingdom Crenarchaeota, living in geographically distant acidic hot springs. Their adaptation …

Abstract Zinc finger protein 395 (ZNF395), belonging to the Krüppel C2H2-type zinc-finger
protein family, is a common transcription factor, which is involved in several cellular …

Virus-encoded transcription factors have been pivotal in exploring the molecular
mechanisms and regulation of gene expression in bacteria and eukaryotes since the birth of …

Few genomes of the HF1-group of viruses are currently available, and further examples
would enhance the understanding of their evolution, improve their gene annotation, and …

Adequate gene regulation in response to environmental and/or metabolic changes is crucial
for the fitness and survival of microorganisms. Transcription factors are important elements …
