DNA polymerase is a ubiquitous enzyme that synthesizes complementary DNA strands
according to the template DNA in living cells. Multiple enzymes have been identified from …

Archaeal organisms are currently recognized as very exciting and useful experimental
materials. A major challenge to molecular biologists studying the biology of Archaea is their …

The complete 1.66-megabase pair genome sequence of an autotrophic archaeon,
Methanococcus jannaschii, and its 58-and 16-kilobase pair extrachromosomal elements …

The eukaryotic replicative DNA polymerases are similar to those of large DNA viruses of
eukaryotic and bacterial T4 phages but not to those of eubacteria. We develop and examine …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes DNA polymerases of mesophiles and covers
DNA polymerases of thermophilic Eubacteria and Archaea. It covers both thermophiles …

Exosomes emerge as central 3′→ 5′ RNA processing and degradation machineries in
eukaryotes and archaea. We determined crystal structures of two 230 kDa nine subunit …

Background: In many respects Archaea are much more like eukaryotes than prokaryotes
with respect to the conservation of many of the components involved in transcription …

We describe here a DNA polymerase family highly conserved in Euryarchaeota, a
subdomain of Archaea. The DNA polymerase is composed of two proteins, DP1 and DP2 …

During the genomics era, the use of thermostable DNA polymerases increased greatly.
Many were identified and described—mainly of the genera Thermus, Thermococcus and …

One of the most puzzling results from the complete genome sequence of the methanogenic
archaeon Methanococcus jannaschii was that the organism may have only one DNA …
