Membrane topology of MntB, the transmembrane protein component of an ABC transporter system for manganese in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.

چکیده
The structure of the membrane protein MntB, a component of a manganese transporter system in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, was examined with a series of fusions to the reporter proteins alkaline phosphatase and beta-galactosidase. The results support a topological model for MntB consisting of nine transmembrane segments, with the amino terminus of the protein being in the periplasm and the carboxyl terminus being in the cytoplasm.

The PsbY protein is not essential for oxygenic photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.
A tetra-manganese cluster in the photosystem II (PSII) pigment-protein complex plays a critical role in the photosynthetic oxygen evolution process. PsbY, a small membrane-spanning polypeptide, has recently been suggested to provide a ligand for manganese in PSII (A.E. Gau, H.H. Thole, A. Sokolenko, L. Altschmied, R.G. Herrmann, E.K. Pistorius [1998] Mol Gen Genet 260: 56-68). We have construct...
متن کاملPosttranslational regulation of nitrate assimilation in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Posttranslational regulation of nitrate assimilation was studied in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. The ABC-type nitrate and nitrite bispecific transporter encoded by the nrtABCD genes was completely inhibited by ammonium as in Synechococcus elongatus strain PCC 7942. Nitrate reductase was insensitive to ammonium, while it is inhibited in the Synechococcus strain. Nitrite ...
متن کاملLocalization of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Antibodies raised against NdhH and NdhB detected these proteins in the thylakoid membrane of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, but not in a purified cytoplasmic membrane. We conclude that NAD(P)H dehydrogenase is largely, if not exclusively, confined to the thylakoid membrane.
متن کاملGenes essential to iron transport in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
Genes encoding polypeptides of an ATP binding cassette (ABC)-type ferric iron transporter that plays a major role in iron acquisition in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 were identified. These genes are slr1295, slr0513, slr0327, and recently reported sll1878 (Katoh et al., J. Bacteriol. 182:6523-6524, 2000) and were designated futA1, futA2, futB, and futC, respectively, for their involvement ...
متن کاملA eukaryotic-type protein kinase, SpkA, is required for normal motility of the unicellular Cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803.
The genome of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 comprises many open reading frames (ORFs) which putatively encode eukaryotic-type protein kinase and protein phosphatase. Based on gene disruption analysis, a region of the hypothetical ORF sll1575, which retained a part of the protein kinase motif, was found to be required for normal motility in the original isolate...
