The genus Sulfolobus includes microorganisms belonging to the domain Archaea, sub-kingdom Crenarchaeota, living in geographically distant acidic hot springs. Their adaptation to such particular habitats requires finely regulated mechanisms of gene expression, among which, those modulated by sequence specific- transcription factors (TFs) play a key role. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on the repertoires of TFs found in Sulfolobus spp and their viruses, focusing on the description of their DNA binding domains and their structure-function relationship.

Abstract
The genus Sulfolobus includes microorganisms belonging to the domain Archaea, sub-kingdom Crenarchaeota, living in geographically distant acidic hot springs. Their adaptation to such particular habitats requires finely regulated mechanisms of gene expression, among which, those modulated by sequence specific- transcription factors (TFs) play a key role. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on the repertoires of TFs found in Sulfolobus spp and their viruses, focusing on the description of their DNA binding domains and their structure-function relationship.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
