Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Haloferax volcanii relative expression of Lon transcripts decreases by 2-fold after UV irradiation down
Haloferax volcanii the cellular content of Lon mRNA varies in direct correlation with medium osmolarity, being the lowest under hyposalinity and the highest in 3.8 M NaCl (2-fold relative to 2.5 M respectively) down

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction Hvlon can be deleted from the chromosome only when a copy of the wild type gene is provided in trans suggesting that Lon is essential for survival in this archaeon. The contents of bacterioruberins and some polar lipids were increased in the lon mutants suggesting that Lon is linked to maintenance of membrane lipid balance which likely affects cell viability in this archaeon Haloferax volcanii
