The cohort of the ammonia‐oxidizing archaea (AOA) of the phylum Thaumarchaeota is a
diverse, widespread and functionally important group of microorganisms in many …

DNA replication is arguably the most fundamental biological process. On account of their
shared evolutionary ancestry, the replication machinery found in archaea is similar to that …

Archaea, the third domain of life, are interesting organisms to study from the aspects of
molecular and evolutionary biology. Archaeal cells have a unicellular ultrastructure without a …

Accurate DNA replication requires a complex interplay of many regulatory proteins at
replication origins. The CMG (Cdc45· Mcm2–7· GINS) complex, which is composed of …

Unlike bacteria, many eukaryotes initiate DNA replication from genomic sites that lack
apparent sequence conservation. These loci are identified and bound by the origin …

The use of multiple origins for chromosome replication has been demonstrated in archaea.
Similar to the dormant origins in eukaryotes, some potential origins in archaea appear to be …

In eukaryotes, the replicative DNA helicase 'core'is the minichromosome maintenance
(Mcm) complex (MCM), forming a heterohexameric complex consisting of six subunits …

The bacteriophage phiBP contains a newly discovered putative replisome organizer, a
helicase loader, and a beta clamp, which together may serve to replicate its DNA …

Background DNA and RNA of all cellular life forms and many viruses contain an expansive
repertoire of modified bases. The modified bases play diverse biological roles that include …

The precise and timely duplication of the genome is essential for cellular life. It is achieved
by DNA replication, a complex process that is conserved among the three domains of life …
