5'-untranslated region sequences enhance plasmid-based protein production in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

The paper shows that adding 5'-UTRs from S. acidocaldarius improves plasmid-based protein production, with the alba 5-UTR increasing yield fourfold.

The archaeal family 3 polyphosphate kinase reveals a function of polyphosphate as energy buffer under low energy charge

This study identifies and characterizes a novel polyphosphate kinase in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, revealing polyphosphate's role as an energy buffer under low energy charge.

De novo synthesis of fatty acids in Archaea via an archaeal fatty acid synthase complex

This study shows that archaea can synthesize fatty acids using a newly identified pathway and enzyme complex, providing insights into their evolutionary lipid composition.
