Characterization of a Nitric Oxide Synthase from the Plant Kingdom: NO Generation from the Green Alga Ostreococcus tauri Is Light Irradiance and Growth Phase Dependent[C][W][OA]
This study characterizes a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) from Ostreococcus tauri, a marine green alga. Like animal NOS sequences, O. tauri NOS contains an oxygenase and reductase domain. The… Expand

Carbon Cycling in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Sucrose Synthesis in the Heterocysts and Possible Role in Nitrogen Fixation1[OA]
Nitrogen (N) available to plants mostly originates from N2 fixation carried out by prokaryotes. Certain cyanobacterial species contribute to this energetically expensive process related to carbon (C)… Expand

Sucrose metabolism: Anabaena sucrose‐phosphate synthase and sucrose‐phosphate phosphatase define minimal functional domains shuffled during evolution
Based on the functional characterization of sucrose biosynthesis related proteins [SBP: sucrose‐phosphate synthase (SPS), sucrose‐phosphate phosphatase (SPP), and sucrose synthase (SuS)] in Anabaena… Expand

Sucrose is involved in the diazotrophic metabolism of the heterocyst‐forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp
Sucrose synthase (SuS) expression was studied in the filamentous, nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7119. SuS activity, SusA polypeptide, and susA mRNA levels were lower in cells… Expand

New insights on sucrose metabolism: evidence for an active A/N-Inv in chloroplasts uncovers a novel component of the intracellular carbon trafficking
The presence of sucrose (Suc) in plastids was questioned for several decades. Although it was reported some decades ago, neither Suc transporters nor Suc metabolizing enzymes were demonstrated to be… Expand

Cyanobacterial alkaline/neutral invertases. Origin of sucrose hydrolysis in the plant cytosol?
The aim of this work was to investigate the occurrence of invertase (Inv) in cyanobacteria. We describe the first isolation and characterization of prokaryotic alkaline/neutral Inv (A/N-Inv) genes.… Expand
