Disease relevance of Synechocystis

  • Previous proteomic analysis of the PSII preparations from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 detected a novel protein, Psb29 (Sll1414), homologs of which are found in all cyanobacteria and vascular plants with sequenced genomes [1].
  • The endoribonucleolytic N-terminal half of Escherichia coli RNase E is evolutionarily conserved in Synechocystis sp. and other bacteria but not the C-terminal half, which is sufficient for degradosome assembly [2].
  • For core complexes prepared from Synechocystis PCC 6803 and Synechococcus elongatus, the fast and slow exchange rates were variously affected [3].
  • Purification of either recombinant Bacillus megaterium or Synechocystis CbiXL in Escherichia coli, which is facilitated by the presence of a naturally occurring histidine-rich region of the protein, results in the isolation of a dark brown protein solution [4].
  • Cells of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 exhibited the capacity to take up [14C]-urea from low-concentration (<1 microM) urea solutions [5].
 

High impact information on Synechocystis

  • Here we report the discovery and functional characterization of GluR0 from Synechocystis PCC 6803, which is the first GluR found in a prokaryote [6].
  • Whole genome transcriptional profiling together with experimental confirmation of DNA binding indicated that Synechocystis cryptochrome DASH functions as a transcriptional repressor [7].
  • We investigated the effects in vivo of ROS to clarify the nature of the damage caused by such excess light energy to the photosynthetic machinery in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [8].
  • The desA, desB and desD genes of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 encode acyl-lipid desaturases that introduce double bonds at the delta12, omega3 and delta6 positions of C18 fatty acids respectively [9].
  • Using a newly developed selection scheme, we have isolated BP13, a random photosynthesis-deficient mutant strain of the cyanobacterium, Synechocystis 6803 [10].

Gene context of Synechocystis

  • The genes encoding the two subunits (alpha and beta) of the cytochrome b559 (cyt b559) protein, psbE and psbF, were cloned from the unicellular, transformable cyanobacterium, Synechocystis 6803 [24].
  • HCF164 is closely related to the thioredoxin-like protein TxlA of Synechocystis sp PCC6803, most probably reflecting its evolutionary origin [25].
  • A defined mutant (M55), constructed by inactivating the ndhB gene in wild-type Synechocystis, required high CO2 conditions for growth and was unable to transport CO2 and HCO3- into the intracellular Ci pool [26].
  • We have recently identified a gene, ctpA, a mutation in which resulted in a loss of PSII activity in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 [27].
  • ORF slr0798, now designated ziaA, from Synechocystis PCC 6803 encodes a polypeptide with sequence features of heavy metal transporting P-type ATPases [28].
