I don't konw whether researchers in the field of Archaea will interst in wikipedia. As the first time, one of my friends introduced it to me, I began to think about that wikipedia would be a good place to communicate and discuss.

Recently I was reading some papers about cell signalling. I found RNAi was really a very good tool to study the protein functions in vivo . Untill now I havn't seen any report about using RNAi in the study of Archaea. I have checked in PubMed. I found there were some papers reporting the proteins involved in RNAi in Archaea were crystallized and its structure were analyzed. It seems that archaea also contain the system for RNAi as in Eukaryote. For Sulfolobus ， the bottleneck is the vector, but now there are some shuttle vectors available based on SSV1 or plasmids. If RNAi could be applied in the study of Sulfolobus , the functions of three CDC6/ORC1 could be easily analyzed, and more proteins related to DNA replication and their functions would be characterized.
