title: [Halophilic archaea flagella: biochemical and genetic analysis].
abstract: The protein compositions of archaebacteria (Halobacterium salinarium, Halobacterium volcanii, Halobacterium saccharovorum and Natronobacterium pharaonis 12) flagella have been studied. It was found that flagella of these archaebacterial species are made up of flagellins. The flagellins of H. salinarium, H. volcanii and H. saccharovorum are glycosylated. Based on the known primary sequences of Halobacterium halobium R1M1 flagellin genes, oligonucleotides to the 5'- and 3'-ends of locus A containing two out of five such genes have been synthesized. The amplified by primers fragment of chromosomal DNA coding for H. halobium flagellins A1 and A2 was used as a probe for detecting homologous sites in archaebacterial DNA. Southern blotting hybridization revealed that the DNA of all archaebacterial species tested in this study contains sequences that are homologous to genes flg A1 and flg A2 of H. halobium.
