The cyanobacterium Synechocystis relies on iron to perform oxygenic photosynthesis. This makes Synechocystis particularly sensitive to iron starvation. A new study shows that the small RNA IsaR1 is a major effector of the iron-stress response, remodeling the photosynthetic apparatus.
蓝藻集胞藻依赖铁来进行放氧光合作用。这使得集胞藻对铁饥饿特别敏感。一项新的研究表明,小 RNA IsaR1 是铁胁迫反应的主要效应因子,重塑光合作用装置。
