Two-component signal transduction in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under phosphate limitation: role of acetyl phosphate.
The two-component signal transduction, which typically consists of a histidine kinase and a response regulator, is used by bacterial cells to sense changes in their environment. Previously, the SphS-SphR histidine kinase and response regulator pair of phosphate sensing signal transduction has been identified in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In addition, some response regulators in bacteria have b...
متن کاملPhotokinesis of Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
Motile cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells show photomovement with respect to the light stimulus. Under lateral irradiation, Synechocystis displays a phototactic gliding movement toward the light source by a twodimensional random biased walk. Under vertical irradiation, Synechocystis decreased the frequency of mean vectorial gliding speed dependent on the applied fluence rate, where...
متن کاملArsenic sensing and resistance system in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Arsenic is one of the most important global environmental pollutants. Here we show that the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 contains an arsenic and antimony resistance operon consisting of three genes: arsB, encoding a putative arsenite and antimonite carrier, arsH, encoding a protein of unknown function, and arsC, encoding a putative arsenate reductase. While arsB mutant strai...
متن کاملThioredoxin peroxidase in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
The amino acid sequence deduced from the open reading frame designated sll0755 in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 is similar to the amino acid sequences of thioredoxin peroxidases from other organisms. In the present study, we found that a recombinant SLL0755 protein that was expressed in Escherichia coli was able to reduce H2O2 and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide with thioredoxin from E. coli as the e...
متن کاملPutrescine transport in a cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
The transport of putrescine into a moderately salt tolerant cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was characterized by measuring the uptake of radioactively-labeled putrescine. Putrescine transport showed saturation kinetics with an apparent K(m) of 92 +/- 10 microM and V(max) of 0.33 +/- 0.05 nmol/min/mg protein. The transport of putrescine was pH-dependent with highest activity at pH 7.0....
