malfunction | a DELTAsqr mutant contains less cellular sulfur (S0) and has increased expression of key genes involved in photosynthesis, but it is less competitive than the wild-type in cocultures. Strain PCC7002 uses SQR to detoxify exogenous sulfide, enabling it to survive better than its DELTAsqr mutant in sulfide-rich environments. The wild-type strain PCC7002 and the complementation strain PCC7002DELTAsqr::sqr do not accumulate sulfide, but the mutant DELTAsqr does. The DELTAsqr mutant has a higher oxygen evolution rate than the wild-type. The increased oxygen evolution rate upon the DELTAsqr mutant is consistent with an acceleration of H2O oxidation to make up for the loss of H2S oxidation, phenotype, overview | Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 |
metabolism | mammalian mitochondria and heterotrophic bacteria oxidize sulfide via a pathway involving two key enzymes, sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) and persulfide dioxygenase (PDO, EC 1.13.11.18). SQR oxidizes sulfide to polysulfide, which spontaneously reacts with glutathione (GSH) to produce glutathione persulfide (GSSH), PDO oxidizes GSSH to sulfite, which spontaneously reacts with polysulfide to produce thiosulfate. This pathway is common in heterotrophic bacteria. The relative electron transport rate (rETR) increases in the mutant | Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 |
additional information | sulfane sulfur is zero valence sulfur in various forms, such as persulfide (RSSH), polysulfide (RSSnH and RSSnR, nx022), and elemental sulfur. Sulfane sulfur can act as either an electrophile or a nucleophile. The nucleophilic property allows cells to resist reactive oxygenspecies, and the electrophilic property causes protein persulfidation, affecting enzyme activities or signaling | Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 |
physiological function | the toxic effect of sulfide is well known, inhibiting respiration by acting on cytochrome c oxidase in heterotrophic bacteria and photosynthesis by binding to metalloproteins of photosynthesis system II (PSII). Sulfide can reach high concentrations in specific habitats, such as hydrothermal vents and seeps and coastal mudflats. Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 uses sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase to detoxify exogenous sulfide and to convert endogenous sulfide to cellular sulfane sulfur. SQR plays a detoxification role. Strain PCC7002 with SQR and persulfide dioxygenase (PDO, EC 1.13.11.18) oxidizes exogenous sulfide to tolerate high sulfide levels. Common presence of SQR in cyanobacteria. SQRs are widely distributed in microorganisms as well as in animal mitochondria. SQR oxidizes sulfide to polysulfide and transfers electrons into the electron transport chain in mitochondria, heterotrophic bacteria, chemolithotrophic bacteria, and photolithotrophic bacteria | Synechococcus sp.
