The paper identifies CCTF1 as a key regulator of proteasome activity during archaeal cell division by controlling PAN expression through promoter binding.

This study identifies three transcription factors that regulate the archaeal cell cycle in Saccharolobus islandicus through a braking point mechanism, differing from eukaryotic regulation.

This study identifies a new class of OLD family ATPases in archaea, showing Cran1 is essential for cell cycle progression rather than antiviral defense.

The paper determines the atomic structures of two distinct archaeal type IV pili formed by the same pilin under different growth conditions, revealing structural flexibility and conformational diversity.
