SQR(sulfide quinone reductase),from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 plasmid pAQ7

 SQR introduction:

Sulfide-dependent anoxygenic photosynthesis, driven by photosystem I (PS/I) alone, among cyanobacteria was first described for Oscillatoria limnetica from Solar Lake. Later photosynthetic sulfide oxidation in O. limnetica led to the discovery of sulfide-quinone reductase (SQR; E.C.1.8.5.′), a novel enzyme that transfers electrons from sulfide into the quinone pool.

Above are sulfide-induced sulfide-Quinone Reductase with the electron transport system.

(Cohen, Y., E. Padan, and M. Shilo, Facultative anoxygenic photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Oscillatoria limnetica. J Bacteriol, 1975. 123(3): p. 855-61.)

 Cloning of SQR gene:

SQR gene came from Synechococcus elongatus PCC7002 because the hypersaline strain S. elongatus PCC 7002, which is already sequenced, is 96% similar to O.limnetica SQR gene.

 Function analysis of SQR gene:

Method: DCMU was added in the medium to inhibit photosystem II, and therefore only sodium sulfide in the medium can provide electron for carbon photoassimilation. By creating different dilution of sodium sulfide, the more sodium sulfide was present, the better the cell grew.
