This article contains SRM proteomics data related to the research article entitled"Inactivation of iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis regulator SufR in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 induces unique iron-dependent protein-level responses" (L. Vuorijoki, A. Tiwari, P. Kallio, E.M. Aro, 2017) [1]. The data described here provide comprehensive information on the applied SRM assays, together with the result...

Regulation of manganese acquisition by bacteria occurs by both biochemical regulation of the activity of the transporters and transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Structural analysis suggests that calcium ions may regulate the function of an Mn ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-permease in Synechocystis 6803, a cyanobacterium, as well as in a number of other bacteria. The expression of genes...

The biosynthesis pathway of carotenoids in cyanobacteria is partly described. However, the subcellular localization of individual steps is so far unknown. Carotenoid analysis of different membrane subfractions in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 shows that "light" plasma membranes have a high carotenoid/protein ratio, when compared to "heavier" plasma membranes or thylakoids. The localization of CrtQ ...

Abstract As photolithoautotrophs, cyanobacteria are key to a future photobiotechnology. We studied the capacity of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 produce trans -4-hydroxy-L-proline, valuable chiral synthon using oxygenic photosynthesis and recombinant L-proline-4-hydroxylase. At scale, such process would use comparable area land heterotrophic one if sugar is also considered. Phototrophs offer huge ...

Histidine kinases are common sensory proteins used to detect environmental changes in bacteria. They respond specific stimuli via a signal-input domain and alter gene expression through cognate response regulator. The modulation/control of transcriptional regulation cyanobacteria is important reinforce the production useful target compounds photosynthesis without altering growth profiles. For i...

Previously, we developed a GeneMark-based procedure, termed GeneMark-RC, and applied it for the identi cation and classi cation of ORFs in genomic sequence data, and identi ed and characterized ORFs in the 1.0 Mb data of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. In the present study, we have improved the procedure and performed analysis of the whole genomic data of Synechocystis. Co...

BACKGROUND Numerous strategies have evolved recently for the generation of genetically modified or synthetic microalgae and cyanobacteria designed for production of ethanol, biodiesel and other fuels. In spite of their obvious attractiveness there are still a number of challenges that can affect their economic viability: the high costs associated with (1) harvesting, which can account for up to...

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the research and development of sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Using photosynthetic microorganisms to produce such alternatives is advantageous, since they can achieve direct conversion of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the desired product, using sunlight as the energy source. Squalene is a naturally occurring 30-carbo...

Storage and buffering of iron is achieved by a class of proteins, the ferritins, widely distributed throughout the living kingdoms. All ferritins have in common their three-dimensional structure and their ability to store large amounts of iron in their central cavity. However, eukaryotic ferritins from plants and animals and bacterioferritins have no sequence similarity, and besides non-haem ir...
