... sequence-specific detection and destruction of invading mobile genetic elements. In the present paper, we report the structure and activity of a Cas6 (CRISPR-associated 6) enzyme (Sso1437) from Sulfolobus solfataricus responsible for the generation of unit-length crRNA species. The crystal structure...

.... In the present study we characterize the roles of highly conserved residues in the ATPase domain of the MCM of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus . Our results identify a potential conduit for communicating DNA-binding information to the ATPase active site. In the present study we address...

...Suzanne Wolterink-van Loo; André van Eerde; Marco A. J. Siemerink; Jasper Akerboom; Bauke W. Dijkstra; John van der Oost Aldolases are enzymes with potential applications in biosynthesis, depending on their activity, specificity and stability. In the present study, the genomes of Sulfolobus species...

...Isabelle DIONNE; Stephen D. BELL We describe the characterization of a family 4 UDG1 (uracil DNA glycosylase) from the crenarchaeote Sulfolobus solfataricus . UDG1 is found to have a marked preference for substrates containing a G:U base pair over either A:U or single-stranded uracil-containing DNA...

...Yiwei HUANG; Gerhard KRAUSS; Sylvain COTTAZ; Hugues DRIGUEZ; Georg LIPPS The thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 encodes three hypothetic endo-β-glucanases, SSO1354, SSO1949 and SSO2534. We cloned and expressed the gene sso1949 encoding the 334 amino acids containing protein...

... cells of the thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus , and that the protein Sso7d interacts with the aggregates and mediates the disassembly of the aggregates and the re-activation of insolubilized β-glycosidase in the presence of ATP hydrolysis. Furthermore, we report that heat-induced protein...

...Annamaria GUAGLIARDI; Laura CERCHIA; Mosè ROSSI We purified from crude extracts of the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus a protease that is able to hydrolyse proteins with a pH optimum of 7.5 and a temperature optimum of 70°C. Assays in the presence of classical protease...
