A remarkable structure (hamus) with pili-like dimensions with a triple fishhook at its tip has been discovered in an archaeal species. The cell envelopes of bacteria and archaea show some similarity in the sense that in some species the cytoplasmic membrane or the cell wall is covered by an...

The known archaeal N-glycans are exceedingly diverse in their composition and structure. Most archaeal pili and all archaeal flagella studied to date are assembled by simple type IV pilin-like machineries. Abstract At first glance, archaea and bacteria look alike; however, the composition of the ...

核小体 (nucleosome),作为真核生物染色质的基本组成单位,由组蛋白 (histone) 的2个H2A-H2B异二聚物,1个(H3-H4)2异四聚物和147 bp DNA装配而成,从而有效地组织基因组DNA【1】并显著地影响所有与DNA相关的细胞活动(比如RNA转录,DNA复制与修复等等)。除真核生物外,某些古细菌 (Archaea) 中也存在更简化版的...
archaea remain unclear, as does the structure of the cell envelope. Here we combine the enrichment of an experimentally tractable Asgard archaeon with state-of-the-art imaging to reveal its cellular architecture at macromolecular detail. A Lokiarchaea culture from sediment...
types. This outer covering is positioned next to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) in most plant cells, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea. Animal cells however, do not have a cell wall. The cell wall has many important functions in a cell including protection, structure, and ...
Cells are the basic, fundamental unit of life. So, if we were to break apart an organism to the cellular level, the smallest independent component that we would find would be the cell. Explore the cell notes to know what is a cell, cell definition, cell structure, types and functions of...
2. Cells are the structural and organizational unit of life; 3. All cells come from pre-existing cells. Eukaryotes vs. Prokaryotes Cells are divided into two broad categories: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells include the single-cell organism bacteria and archaea. Animal cel...
Cryo-EM structure of the csg hexamer To understand cell-surface organization in haloarchaea, we aimed to resolve the atomic structure of the model S-layer from H. volcanii. To this end, we purified native csg protein from H. volcanii cells and incubated it with Ca2+ ions (Figures S1A–S1...
