A subset of the diverse COG0523 family of putative metal chaperones is linked to zinc homeostasis in all kingdoms of life (2009)

Haas, Crysten E, Rodionov, Dmitry A, Kropat, Janette, Malasarn, Davin, Merchant, Sabeeha S

Abstract Background COG0523 proteins are, like the nickel chaperones of the UreG family, part of the G3E family of GTPases linking them to metallocenter biosynthesis. Even though the first...

The Chlamydomonas genome reveals the evolution of key animal and plant functions (2007)

Merchant, Sabeeha S., Prochnik, Simon E., Witman, George B., Pazour, Gregory J., Rokhsar, Daniel S., Grossman, Arthur R.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a unicellular green alga whose lineage diverged from land plants over 1 billion years ago. It is a model system for studying chloroplast-based photosynthesis, as well as...

The tiny eukaryote Ostreococcus provides genomic insights into the paradox of plankton speciation

Palenik, Brian, Grimwood, Jane, Aerts, Andrea, Rouzé, Pierre, Salamov, Asaf, Putnam, Nicholas, ...

The smallest known eukaryotes, at ≈1-μm diameter, are Ostreococcus tauri and related species of marine phytoplankton. The genome of Ostreococcus lucimarinus has been completed and compared with...

Manganese Deficiency in Chlamydomonas Results in Loss of Photosystem II and MnSOD Function, Sensitivity to Peroxides, and Secondary Phosphorus and Iron Deficiency1[W][OA]

Allen, Michael D., Kropat, Janette, Tottey, Stephen, Del Campo, José A., Merchant, Sabeeha S.

For photoheterotrophic growth, a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell requires at least 1.7 × 107 manganese ions in the medium. At lower manganese ion concentrations (typically

FEA1, FEA2, and FRE1, Encoding Two Homologous Secreted Proteins and a Candidate Ferrireductase, Are Expressed Coordinately with FOX1 and FTR1 in Iron-Deficient Chlamydomonas reinhardtii▿

Allen, Michael D., Del Campo, José A., Kropat, Janette, Merchant, Sabeeha S.

Previously, we had identified FOX1 and FTR1 as iron deficiency-inducible components of a high-affinity copper-dependent iron uptake pathway in Chlamydomonas. In this work, we survey the version 3.0...

A Ferroxidase Encoded by FOX1 Contributes to Iron Assimilation under Conditions of Poor Iron Nutrition in Chlamydomonas▿ ‡

Chen, Jen-Chih, Hsieh, Scott I., Kropat, Janette, Merchant, Sabeeha S.

When the abundance of the FOX1 gene product is reduced, Chlamydomonas cells grow poorly in iron-deficient medium, but not in iron-replete medium, suggesting that FOX1-dependent iron uptake is a...

FER1 and FER2 Encoding Two Ferritin Complexes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Chloroplasts Are Regulated by Iron

Long, Joanne C., Sommer, Frederik, Allen, Michael D., Lu, Shu-Fen, Merchant, Sabeeha S.

Two unlinked genes FER1 and FER2 encoding ferritin subunits were identified in the Chlamydomonas genome. An improved FER2 gene model, built on the basis of manual sequencing and incorporation of...
