A PAPS-Dependent Sulfotransferase in Cyanophora paradoxa
A 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) dependent sulfotransferase was partly purified from Cyanophora paradoxa. This enzyme has a pH-optimum of 8.5 and was found to be specific for P A P S ; the K m for this nucleotide was determined to be 8.3 juu. In crude extracts monothiols like glutathione, mercaptoethanol, or cysteine catalyzed a rate of about 80% of the rate obtained with dithioer...
متن کاملEvidence for an inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism in the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp.
The presence of a carbon-concentrating mechanism in the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp. was investigated. Its existence was postulated to explain how these algae fix inorganic carbon (C(i)) efficiently despite the presence of a form II Rubisco. When the dinoflagellates were isolated from their host, the giant clam (Tridacna gigas), CO(2) uptake was found to support the majority of net...
متن کاملRegulation of CO2 Concentrating Mechanism in Cyanobacteria
In this chapter, we mainly focus on the acclimation of cyanobacteria to the changing ambient CO2 and discuss mechanisms of inorganic carbon (Ci) uptake, photorespiration, and the regulation among the metabolic fluxes involved in photoautotrophic, photomixotrophic and heterotrophic growth. The structural components for several of the transport and uptake mechanisms are described and the progress...
متن کاملAn inorganic carbon transport system responsible for acclimation specific to air levels of CO2 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Many photosynthetic microorganisms acclimate to CO(2) limited environments by induction and operation of CO(2)-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs). Despite their central role in CCM function, inorganic carbon (Ci) transport systems never have been identified in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms. In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a mutant, pmp1, was described in 1983 with deficiencies i...
متن کاملCyanophora paradoxa: Fatty Acids and Fatty Acid Synthesis in vitro
Cyanophora paradoxa, Cyanelles, Fatty Acid Pattern, Fatty Acid Synthesis in vitro The fatty acid pattern of Cyanophora paradoxa membrane lipids is highly unusual with 16:0, 20:3 and 20:4 as the main acids. The 20:4 acid is preferentially distributed among the cyanelle lipids. In isolated cyanelles a relatively low in vitro synthesis of only saturated and monounsatu rated fatty acids from [l-14...
