The early studies of C.R Woese of microbial phylogeny based on rRNA sequences yielded the remarkable finding that the prokaryotic world was not monophyletic but separated into two distinct domains: Archaea and Bacteria. This major advance during the last part of the twentieth century opened a novel vision of the living world. The universal tree predicted that the Archaea were specific relatives of the Eukarya, to the exclusion of the Bacteria. Astonishingly, geneticinformationprocessingsystemsintheArchaeaareoftencloselyrelatedto theircounterpartsineukaryotes(translation,transcription,replication,DNArecom- bination,andrepair)evenifArchaeahaveabacteria-likecellularstructure.Archaea arenow consideredasmodelswithanemphasisonstudying themolecularmech- anisms that universally conserve the evolutionary history of life and for the emergence of new technologies. With the advent of whole genome sequencing, a promisingwaytotakeadvantageofthesesimilaritiesistoanalyzetheevolutionof cellular systems through phylogenomic approaches. Over the years, our vision of archaeal microorganisms has evolved from exotic microbial extremophiles to organismsofgeneralimportancethatareusedtoelucidatefundamentalbiological questions. More recently, a newly discovered deep-sea archaeon named Loki suggests eukaryotes evolved directly from archaea rather than representing a separate branch of life. In consideration of this fundamental finding, Archaea are now renowned to be important model microorganisms for the study of molecular mechanisms that are conserved between Eukarya and Archaea.

Thishighlights the v vi OutlineandSynopsis advantage of an archaeal model to gain further mechanistic and evolutionary information of fundamental processes across the three domains of life. Neverthe- less, for over a decade, numerous signaling pathways have been described in Eukarya and Bacteria in which RNA processing regulates gene expression. In Archaea, these processes have been overlooked. Molecular mechanisms of RNA maturation and decay and posttranscriptional control of gene expression are far fromunderstood. Given that the RNA field is moving very fast, it is time to cover many of the excitingandsometimesoverlookeddevelopmentsinthefieldthatrevealoriginality ofthearchaealsystemandilluminatethefascinatingbiologythatsetsthestagefor RNA.

The molecular mechanisms of archaeal transcription have been studied and characterised in great detail in vitro, but until recently relatively little was known about its global characteristics. In this chapter we discuss an integrated view of transcription from the molecular to the global level. Systems biology approaches haveprovidedcompellinginsightsintopromoterandterminatorDNAelements,the genome-wide distribution of transcription initiation- and elongation factors and RNA polymerase, the archaeal transcriptome and chromatinorganisation.
