Lubelska, Joanna M., Jonuscheit, Melanie, Schleper, Christa, Albers, Sonja-Verena, Driessen, Arnold J.M.
Sugar uptake in Sulfolobus solfataricus, a thermoacidophilic archaeon, occurs through high-affinity binding of protein-dependent ABC transporters. We have investigated the expression patterns of two...
Protein secretion in the Archaea: multiple paths towards a unique cell surface (2006)
Albers, Sonja-Verena, Szabó, Zalán, Driessen, Arnold J.M.
Archaea are similar to other prokaryotes in most aspects of cell structure but are unique with respect to the lipid composition of the cytoplasmic membrane and the structure of the cell surface....
Albers, Sonja-Verena, Driessen, Arnold J.M.
Gram-negative bacteria use a wide variety of complex mechanisms to secrete proteins across their membranes or to assemble secreted proteins into surface structures. As most archaea only possess a...
Insights Into ABC Transport in Archaea (2004)
Albers, Sonja-Verena, Koning, Sonja M., Konings, Wil N., Driessen, Arnold J.M.
In archaea, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters play a crucial role in substrate uptake, export, and osmoregulation. Archaeal substrate-binding-protein-dependent ABC transporters are equipped...
