From genomes to function: haloarchaea as model organisms

Abstract: Haloarchaea are adapted to high-salt environments and accumulate equally high salt concentrations in the cytoplasm. The genomes of representatives of six haloarchaeal genera have been fully or partially sequenced, allowing the analysis of haloarchaeal properties in silico. Transcriptome and proteome analyses have been established for Halobacterium salinarum and Haloferax volcanii. Genetic systems are available including methods that allow the fast in-frame deletion or modification of chromosomal genes. The hig… Show more

“…Archaeal organisms are increasingly being relied upon for use as model systems for eukaryotes and are considered by many to be attractive hosts in biotechnological applications due to their ability to survive extreme conditions along with other unique traits and enzymes (Margesin & Schinner, 2001;Schiraldi & De Rosa, 2002;Kaczowka et al, 2005;Egorova & Antranikian, 2005;Soppa, 2006). Advances in these areas of research will be achieved through the comprehension of post-transcriptional regulation and optimization of protein expression in archaea.…”

“…preuves dans des domaines aussi variés que la cancéro-logie, les maladies neuro-dégénératives et l'embryologie [7][8][9][10][11][12]. Les fonctions des composantes biologiques sont dépen-dantes du contexte [2][3][4][5][6]. Dans les systèmes vivants, les événements dictent aux contextes comment ils doivent se déformer, les contextes dictent aux composantes comment elles doivent se comporter et les composantes dictent aux événements comment ils doivent naître.…”

“…volcanii is the organism of choice for haloarchaeal genetics. 11,12 It has simple growth requirements (aerobic conditions, optimum temperature 45°C) and is easy to culture in the laboratory. 12 As a halophile, it is extremely resilient to contamination-few organisms can survive in 2.5 M NaCl.…”

This is a significant advantage for industry, since it circumvents the need for 10 pTA963 utilizes the p.tnaA tryptophanase promoter of Hfx.…”
