  • Title: Up-regulated expression of the cbb(I) and cbb(II) operons during photoheterotrophic growth of a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase deletion mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
    Author: Smith SA, Tabita FR.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 2002 Dec; 184(23):6721-4. PubMed ID: 12426361.
    Abstract:
    In a Rhodobacter sphaeroides ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase deletion strain that requires an exogenous electron donor for photoheterotrophic growth, transcription of the genes of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle was increased. This finding pointed to a potential physiological effector that enhances the capability of the positive transcriptional activator CbbR to mediate cbb transcription. This effector is most likely ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate or a metabolite derived from this CBB pathway intermediate.
