• W2897539727 abstract "Abstract The crystalline surface layer (S-layer), consisting of two glycoproteins SlaA and SlaB, is considered to be the exclusive component of the cell envelope outside of the cytoplasmic membrane in Sulfolobus species. Although biochemically and structurally characterized, the S-layer in vivo functions remain largely elusive in Archaea. Here, we investigate how the S-layer genes contribute to the S-layer architecture and affect cellular physiology in a crenarchaeal model, Sulfolobus islandicus M.16.4. Electron micrographs of mutant cells lacking slaA or both slaA and slaB confirm the absence of the outermost layer (SlaA), whereas cells with intact, partially, or completely detached SlaA are observed for the ∆ slaB mutant. Importantly, we identify a novel S-layer-associated protein M164_1049, which does not functionally replace its homolog SlaB but likely assists SlaB to stabilize SlaA. Additionally, we find that mutants deficient in SlaA form large cell aggregates and the individual cell size varies significantly. The slaB gene deletion also causes noticeable cellular aggregation, but the size of those aggregates is smaller when compared to ∆ slaA and ∆ slaAB mutants. We further show the ∆ slaA mutant cells exhibit more sensitivity to hyperosmotic stress but are not reduced to wild-type cell size. Finally, we demonstrate that the ∆ slaA mutant contains aberrant chromosome copy numbers not seen in wild-type cells where the cell cycle is tightly regulated. Together these data suggest that the lack of slaA results in either cell fusion or irregularities in cell division. Our studies provide novel insights into the physiological and cellular functions of the S-layer in Archaea. Significance Rediscovery of the ancient evolutionary relationship between archaea and eukaryotes has revitalized interest in archaeal cell biology. Key to understanding the archaeal cell is the S-layer which is ubiquitous in Archaea but whose in vivo function is unknown. In this study, we genetically dissect how the two well-known S-layer genes as well as a newly identified S-layer-associated-protein-encoding gene contribute to the S-layer architecture in a hyperthermophilic crenarchaeal model S. islandicus . We provide genetic evidence for the first time showing that the slaA gene is a key cell morphology determinant and may play a role in Sulfolobus cell division or cell fusion." @default.
