Proteome database of Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1

Halobacterium salinarum is an obligate aerobic archaeon
able to tolerate extremely high level of salt. Given its ability to withstand
high salt environment and thus to survive in salted food, it is a clinically
significant archaea which needs to form part of the surveillance network in
safeguarding food safety. This work provides the proteomic information that
could inform the design of experiments aiming to disentangle the mechanistic
basis underlying high salt tolerance of H. salinarum. Specifically, the
UniProt proteome file of H. salinarum NRC-1 was parsed by an in-house
MATLAB proteome analysis software to yield a collated database comprising
protein name, amino acid sequence, number of residues, molecular weight, and
nucleotide sequence. Overall, the proteome database of H. salinarum
should find use in guiding molecular cloning and genome editing experiments
aiming to elucidate the functional basis of particular proteins through
loss-of-function analysis.
