The gene encoding dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase from the halophilic archaeon, Haloferax volcanii, has been subcloned and overexpressed in the parent organism by using the halophilic archaeal rRNA promoter. The recombinant protein has been purified to homogeneity and characterized with respect to its kinetic, molecular, and salt-dependent properties. A dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase-minus mutant of H. volcanii has been created by homologous recombination with the subcloned gene after insertion of the mevinolin resistance determinant into the protein-coding region. To explore the physiological function of the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, the growth properties of the mutant halophile have been examined.

D001105 Archaea One of the three domains of life (the others being BACTERIA and Eukarya), formerly called Archaebacteria under the taxon Bacteria, but now considered separate and distinct. They are characterized by: (1) the presence of characteristic tRNAs and ribosomal RNAs; (2) the absence of peptidoglycan cell walls; (3) the presence of ether-linked lipids built from branched-chain subunits; and (4) their occurrence in unusual habitats. While archaea resemble bacteria in morphology and genomic organization, they resemble eukarya in their method of genomic replication. The domain contains at least four kingdoms: CRENARCHAEOTA; EURYARCHAEOTA; NANOARCHAEOTA; and KORARCHAEOTA. Archaebacteria,Archaeobacteria,Archaeon,Archebacteria
