Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of Halobacterium species NRC-1

TL;DR: Analysis of the genome sequence shows the presence of pathways for uptake and utilization of amino acids, active sodium-proton antiporter and potassium uptake systems, sophisticated photosensory and signal transduction pathways, and DNA replication, transcription, and translation systems resembling more complex eukaryotic organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation of protein secretion to extremely high-salt conditions by extensive use of the twin-arginine translocation pathway.

TL;DR: Data is presented suggesting that the utilization of protein translocation pathways for protein secretion by the Halobacteriaceae differs significantly from that of non‐haloarchaea, and most probably represents an adaptation to the high‐salt environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prokaryotic Utilization of the Twin-Arginine Translocation Pathway: a Genomic Survey

TL;DR: While many prokaryotes use this pathway predominantly for the secretion of redox proteins, analyses of the predicted substrates suggest that certain bacteria and archaea secrete mainly nonredox proteins via the Tat pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein Translocation in the Three Domains of Life: Variations on a Theme

TL;DR: This work compared sequences of known translocation components with genome sequences of M. jannaschii, M. thermoautotrophicum, and P. aerofilum to find patterns that can be attributed to translocation-based signaling pathways in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

The twin-arginine translocation pathway is a major route of protein export in Streptomyces coelicolor

TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided that the Tat system is used as a major general export pathway in Streptomyces and putative lipoproteins were shown to be Tat-dependent.
