An Lrs14 family protein functions as a nucleoid-associated protein regulating cell cycle progression in Sulfolobales

Qi Gan, Haodun Li, Qihong Huang, Yunfeng Yang, Fei Sun, Xu Feng, Jinfeng Ni, Zhenfeng Zhang, Qunxin She, Yulong Shen

This study identifies Sul14a as a nucleoid-associated protein in Sulfolobales that regulates chromatin organization and cell cycle progression through DNA binding and transcriptional changes.

Three transcription factors coordinate the archaeal cell cycle progression through a regulatory braking point mechanism

Yunfeng Yang, Shikuan Liang, Zixin Geng, Miguel V Gomez-Raya-Vilanova, Wenying Xia, Junfeng Liu, Qihong Huang, Jinfeng Ni, Qunxin She, Mart Krupovìč, Yulong Shen

This study identifies three transcription factors that regulate the archaeal cell cycle in Saccharolobus islandicus through a braking point mechanism, differing from eukaryotic regulation.

Phosphorylation of the α subunit inhibits proteasome assembly and regulates cell division in an archaeon

Ya Chun Wu, Qi Gan, Kanghui Ning, Ran Zhang, Shikuan Liang, Yunfeng Yang, Pengju Wu, Xu Feng, Qunxin She, Jinfeng Ni, Yulong Shen, Qihong Huang

This study shows that phosphorylation of a proteasome subunit by ePK2 inhibits proteasome assembly and regulates cell division in Sulfolobales archaea.

A new class of OLD family ATPases Cran1 functions in cell cycle progression in an archaeon

Yunfeng Yang, Shikuan Liang, Junfeng Liu, Xiaofei Fu, Pengju Wu, Haodun Li, Jinfeng Ni, Qunxin She, Mart Krupovìč, Yulong Shen

This study identifies a new class of OLD family ATPases in archaea, showing Cran1 is essential for cell cycle progression rather than antiviral defense.
