TroR is the primary regulator of the iron homeostasis transcription network in the halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii

The paper identifies TroR as the primary regulator of iron homeostasis in Haloferax volcanii and shows it represses iron uptake and induces storage under iron sufficiency.

Comparative analysis of genome-wide protein-DNA interactions across domains of life reveals unique binding patterns for hypersaline archaeal histones

This paper compares DNA binding patterns of halophilic histones to bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic DNA-binding proteins, revealing unique features in halophilic histones that suggest a role in transcriptional regulation rather than chromatin formation.
