The three domains of life employ various strategies to organize their genomes. Archaea
utilize features similar to those found in both eukaryotic and bacterial chromatin to organize …

Archaea, along with Bacteria and Eukarya, are the three domains of life. In all living cells,
chromatin proteins serve a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the structure and …

Archaea contain a variety of chromatin proteins consistent with the evolution of different
genome packaging mechanisms. Among the two main kingdoms in the Archaea …

Chromatin proteins promote chromosome flexibility in vivo, maintaining a compact yet
decondensed template that permits polymerase accessibility. All Archaea have at least two …

Crenarchaeal genomes are organized into a compact nucleoid by a set of small chromatin
proteins. Although there is little knowledge of chromatin structure in Archaea, similarities …

The genomic DNA of all organisms across the three kingdoms of life needs to be compacted
and functionally organized. Key players in these processes are DNA supercoiling …

Archaea have evolved various strategies in chromosomal organization. While histone
homologues exist in most archaeal phyla, Cren7 is a chromatin protein conserved in the …

The archaeal genome is organized by either eukaryotic-like histone proteins or bacterial-like
nucleoid-associated proteins. Recent studies have revealed novel insights into chromatin …

Recently, several advances have been made in the understanding of the form and function
of archaeal chromatin. Remarkable parallels can be drawn between the structure and …

The eukaryotic nucleosome is the fundamental unit of chromatin, comprising a protein
octamer that wraps∼ 147 bp of DNA and has essential roles in DNA compaction, replication …
