Disease relevance of Halobacterium

  • Here we report the sequence and function of a histidine kinase (CheAH.s.) from Halobacterium salinarium, the first such transmitter in Archaea. The protein CheAH.s. (668 residues) has significant sequence identity with the CheA proteins known from eubacterial signal transduction (e.g. 34% identity with CheA from Bacillus subtilis) [1].
  • The corresponding full-length cDNA was cloned, and the present report demonstrates that the deduced 184-residue amino acid sequence shares greater than 30% identity to a number of bacterial and chloroplast L22 ribosomal proteins, including those from Escherichia coli and Halobacterium halobium [2].
  • Mutations to oxazolidinone resistance in Halobacterium halobium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli map at or near domain V of the 23S rRNA, suggesting that the oxazolidinones may target the peptidyl transferase region responsible for binding fMet-tRNA [3].
  • Glutathione-reductase was found in varying amounts in all eukaryotes and prokaryotes, used in this study, with the exception of the two strict anaerobes Clostridium tartarivorum and Desulfovibrio vulgaris, and the two primitive Archaebacteria Methanosarcina barkeri and Halobacterium halobium [4].
  • The temperate phage phi H of the extremely halophilic archaebacterium Halobacterium salinarium encodes a repressor, Rep, which in the immune state represses the production of an early lytic transcript, denoted T4 [5].

Biological context of Halobacterium

  • Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) was expressed in Halobacterium halobium by using a multicopy plasmid containing the bop gene [14].
  • The partial amino acid sequences of the 28-kDa peptides were found in a fragment (amino acids 731-816) obtainable by trypsin cleavage of the known cell-surface glycoprotein of this halobacterium [15].
  • The primary structure and the location of glycosylation sites were determined by cloning and sequencing of the glycoprotein gene of Halobacterium halobium [16].
  • The in-frame deletion of blh, a brp paralog identified by analysis of the Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 genome, reduced bacteriorhodopsin accumulation on solid medium but not in liquid [17].
  • The intron-containing tRNA(Trp) precursor from Halobacterium volcanii, like many intron-containing archaebacterial precursor tRNAs, can assume a structure in which the two intron endonuclease cleavage sites are localized in two three-nucleotide loops separated by four base pairs [18].
