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.
