This study identifies TFB2, a TFIIB paralog, as a key regulator of cyclic transcription in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, linking it to cell cycle progression without CDKs.

This study shows that archaeal ESCRT-III homologue CdvB1 binds phosphoinositides and helps polarize the cytokinetic membrane in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius.

The paper develops a thermostable green fluorescent protein, Matcha, for live imaging in hyperthermophiles and uses it to study division ring dynamics in Sulfolobus.

This study investigates how DNA segregation and cell division are coordinated in archaea, identifying regulatory checkpoints and proteins involved in ensuring accurate genome distribution.

This study identifies the mechanism of cell cycle-dependent proteasome-mediated CdvB degradation in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, revealing a role for a novel transcription factor and proteasome-activating nucleotidase.

This study uses temperature-sensitive mutants in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius to identify a ribosomal mutation that blocks translation and prevents cell division, linking translation to cell cycle control.
