Haloarchaeal proteases and proteolytic systems.
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.
