Cyanobacteria (Synechocystis) • Photosynthetic bacteria with multi-layered membranes • Photo-autotrophic or photo-heterotrophic growth • Ancestor of plant chloroplast
Photosynthesis of Synechocystis • Thylakoid membrane contains many phycobilisomes on its surface • Phycobilisomes contain accessory pigments absorbing light for photosynthesis
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 • Model organism of higher plants • Plant-like oxygenic photosynthesis • High transformation efficiency • Light signal transduction mutants • Undergoing systems biology pilot study • ‘Genome-to-Life’ project of DOE, USA • The first complete genome sequence among photosynthetic bacteria (DNA Research 1996) Genome size: 3,573,470 bp, GC content : 47.7% 3167 proteins (92 two-component regulatory proteins)
SynechoNET • Provides predicted protein interaction network of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 • Integrates four complementary and redundant public protein-protein interaction (PPI) databases • Generates prediction reliability based on redundancy • Provides predicted membrane protein information • trans-membrane topology and domain information
