Thermoacidophilic archaea belonging to the order Sulfolobales thrive in extreme biotopes,
such as sulfuric hot springs and ore deposits. These microorganisms have been model …

Genome analysis points to N‐glycosylation as being an almost universal posttranslational
modification in Archaea. Although such predictions have been confirmed in only a limited …

The S-layer is a proteinaceous surface lattice found in the cell envelope of bacteria and
archaea. In most archaea, a glycosylated S-layer constitutes the sole cell wall and there is …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) comprise mainly carbohydrates, proteins and
extracellular DNA (eDNA) in biofilms formed by the thermoacidophilic Crenarchaeon …

Various biological markers in members of the TACK and Asgard archaeal super-phyla show
Eukarya-like traits. These include the oligosaccharyltransferase, responsible for transferring …

N-glycosylation, a post-translational modification whereby glycans are covalently linked to
select Asn residues of target proteins, occurs in all three domains of life. Across evolution …

Glycosylation is one of the most complex posttranslational protein modifications. Its
importance has been established not only for eukaryotes but also for a variety of prokaryotic …

Pyrobaculum calidifontis is a hyperthermophilic archaeon that belongs to the phylum
Crenarchaeota. In contrast to the phylum Euryarchaeota, only the N-glycan structure of the …

Archaeal cells are typically enveloped by glycosylated S-layer proteins. Archaeal protein
glycosylation provides valuable insights not only into their adaptation to their niches but also …

Although Halobacterium salinarum provided the first example of N-glycosylation outside the
Eukarya, much regarding such post-translational modification in this halophilic archaea …
