• Different minimal signal peptide lengths recognized by the archaeal prepilin-like peptidases FlaK and PibD.

  In Archaea, the preflagellin peptidase (a type IV prepilin-like peptidase designated FlaK in Methanococcus voltae and Methanococcus maripaludis) is th…

• Identification of the archaeal alg7 gene homolog (encoding N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate transferase) of the N-linked glycosylation system by cross-domain complementation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

  The Mv1751 gene product is thought to catalyze the first step in the N-glycosylation pathway in Methanococcus voltae. Here, we show that a conditional…
