title: Haloarchaeal proteases and proteolytic systems.
abstract: Proteases play key roles in many biological processes and have numerous applications in biotechnology and industry. Recent advances in the genetics, genomics and biochemistry of the halophilic Archaea provide a tremendous opportunity for understanding proteases and their function in the context of an archaeal cell. This review summarizes our current knowledge of haloarchaeal proteases and provides a reference for future research.
