Salt-dependent expression of glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase, involved in osmolyte synthesis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is able to acclimate to levels of salinity ranging from freshwater to twice the seawater concentrations of salt by accumulating the compatible solute glucosylglycerol (GG). Expression of the ggpS gene coding for the key enzyme (glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase) in GG synthesis was examined in detail. Under control conditions, the GgpS prot...
متن کاملThe gene ssl3076 encodes a protein mediating the salt-induced expression of ggpS for the biosynthesis of the compatible solute glucosylglycerol in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Acclimation to high salt concentrations involves concerted changes in gene expression. For the majority of salt-regulated genes, the mechanism underlying the induction process is not known. The gene ggpS (sll1566), which encodes the glucosylglycerol-phosphate synthase responsible for the synthesis of the compatible solute glucosylglycerol (GG), is specifically induced by salt in the cyanobacter...
متن کاملThe ggpS gene from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 encoding glucosyl-glycerol-phosphate synthase is involved in osmolyte synthesis.
A salt-sensitive mutant of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 defective in the synthesis of the compatible solute glucosylglycerol (GG) was used to search for the gene encoding GG-phosphate synthase (GGPS), the key enzyme in GG synthesis. Cloning and sequencing of the mutated region and the corresponding wild-type region revealed that a deletion of about 13 kb occurred in the genome of mutant 11...
متن کاملGene expression profiling reflects physiological processes in salt acclimation of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
The kinetics of genome-wide responses of gene expression during the acclimation of cells of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 to salt stress were followed by DNA-microarray technique and compared to changes in main physiological parameters. During the first 30 min of salt stress, about 240 genes became induced higher than 3-fold, while about 140 genes were repressed. However, most changes in gene expr...
متن کاملAquaporin AqpZ is involved in cell volume regulation and sensitivity to osmotic stress in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
The moderately halotolerant cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 contains a plasma membrane aquaporin, AqpZ. We previously reported that AqpZ plays a role in glucose metabolism under photomixotrophic growth conditions, suggesting involvement of AqpZ in cytosolic osmolarity homeostasis. To further elucidate the physiological role of AqpZ, we have studied its gene expression profile a...
