Genomic responses to arsenic in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Arsenic is a ubiquitous contaminant and a toxic metalloid which presents two main redox states in nature: arsenite [AsIII] and arsenate [AsV]. Arsenic resistance in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is mediated by the ...

A new member of the thioredoxin reductase family from early uxygenic photosynthetic organisms
(Oxford University Press, 2017)
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are key components of the redox system that regulates the activity of a spectrum of target proteins through dithiol-disulfide exchange reactions. Trxs are reduced by members of the Trx reductase (TR) ...

Global transcriptional profiles of the copper responses in the cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Copper is an essential element involved in fundamental processes like respiration and photosynthesis. However, it becomes toxic at high concentration, which has forced organisms to control its cellular concentration. We ...

The glutathione/glutaredoxin system is essential for arsenate reduction in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
Arsenic resistance in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is mediated by an operon of three genes in which arsC codes for an arsenate reductase with unique characteristics. Here we describe the identification of two additional ...

Back to the future: Transplanting the chloroplast TrxF–FBPase–SBPase redox system to cyanobacteria
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) are two essential activities in the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle that catalyze two irreversible reactions and are key for proper regulation ...

A protease-mediated mechanism regulates the cytochrome c6/plastocyanin switch in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
(NAS, 2021-01-25)
After the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), iron availability was greatly decreased, and photosynthetic organisms evolved several alternative proteins and mechanisms. One of these proteins, plastocyanin, is a type I blue-copper ...

Arsenic sensing and resistance system in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Strain PCC 6803
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003-09)
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: ...

Characterization of an alcohol dehydrogenase from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 that responds to environmental stress conditions via the Hik34-Rre1 two-component system
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009)
The slr1192 (adhA) gene from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 encodes a member of the medium-chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase family. The gene product AdhA exhibits NADP-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase activity, ...

A gene cluster involved in metal homeostasis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803
(American Society for Microbiology, 2000)
A gene cluster composed of nine open reading frames (ORFs) involved in Ni2+, Co2+, and Zn2+ sensing and tolerance in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Strain PCC 6803 has been identified. The cluster includes an Ni2+ ...
