Bifunctional enzyme FBPase/SBPase is essential for photoautotrophic growth in cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

From a random insertion mutant library of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, a mutant defective in photoautotrophic growth was obtained. The interrupted gene was identified to be slr2094 (fbp1), which encodes the fructose-1,6-biphosphatase (FBPase) / sedoheptulose-1,7-biphosphatase (SBPase) bifunctional enzyme (F-I). Two other independently constructed slr2094 mutants showed an identical phenotype. The FBPase activity was found to be virtually lacked in slr2094 mutant, which was sensitive to light under mixotrophic growth conditions. These results indicate that slr2094 is the only active FBPase-encoding gene in this cyanobacterium. Inactivation of photosystem II by interrupting psbB in slr2094 mutant alleviated the sensitiveness to light. This report provides the direct genetic evidence for the essential role of F-I in the photosynthesis of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

萌发中食松幼苗贮藏物质的利用和变化

采用电镜技术观察了黑暗中萌发中食松子叶和提供营养的雌配子体中脂肪体和与脂肪利用有关的乙醛酸循环体的变化,测量比较了子叶、下胚轴、根的长度、干重、淀粉含量,以及果糖1,6二磷酸酶的活性变化,对贮藏物质脂类、淀粉的利用及与生长的关系进行了分析.雌配子体中脂肪的利用快于子叶,淀粉作为临时贮藏物质在子叶和下胚轴中大量积累,根中极少,淀粉/干重比表明,子叶中淀粉比重大于下胚轴,这个由上向下的顺序变化与雌配子体由下向上,最后在子叶尖端脱离幼苗的变化暗示了贮藏物质通过接触从雌配子体传递到幼苗.在子叶中细胞质和质体果糖1,6二磷酸酶的活性都明显高于下胚轴,根和未萌发胚中细胞质和质体果糖1,6二磷酸酶的活性极低,表明子叶和下胚轴进行活跃的蔗糖和淀粉合成活动.
