Abstract excerpt
The halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii contains three operons encoding 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes (OADHCs) OADHC1-OADHC3. However, the biological role of these OADHCs is not known as previous studies have demonstrated that they cannot use any of the known OADHC substrates. Even the construction of single mutants in all three oadhc operons, reported recently, could not identify a substrate. Therefore,...
