Abstract

Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 has four genes encoding flavodiiron proteins (FDPs; Flv1 to Flv4). Here, we investigated the flv4-flv2 operon encoding the Flv4, Sll0218, and Flv2 proteins, which are strongly expressed under low inorganic carbon conditions (i.e., air level of CO(2)) but become repressed at elevated CO(2) conditions. Different from FDP homodimers in anaerobic microbes, Synechocystis Flv2 and Flv4 form a heterodimer. It is located in cytoplasm but also has a high affinity to membrane in the presence of cations. Sll0218, on the contrary, resides in the thylakoid membrane in association with a high molecular mass protein complex. Sll0218 operates partially independently of Flv2/Flv4. It stabilizes the photosystem II (PSII) dimers, and according to biophysical measurements opens up a novel electron transfer pathway to the Flv2/Flv4 heterodimer from PSII. Constructed homology models suggest efficient electron transfer in heterodimeric Flv2/Flv4. It is suggested that Flv2/Flv4 binds to thylakoids in light, mediates electron transfer from PSII, and concomitantly regulates the association of phycobilisomes with PSII. The function of the flv4-flv2 operon provides many β-cyanobacteria with a so far unknown photoprotection mechan...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
