• Characterization of a Mutant Deficient for Ammonium and Nitric Oxide Signalling in the Model System Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 

      Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Ocaña Calahorro, Francisco Javier; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio; Montaigu, Amaury de (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The ubiquitous signalling molecule Nitric Oxide (NO) is characterized not only by the variety of organisms in which it has been described, but also by the wealth of biological processes that it regulates. In contrast to ...
    • Glucose Uptake and Its Effect on Gene Expression in Prochlorococcus 

      Gómez-Baena, Guadalupe; López-Lozano, Antonio; Gil-Martínez, Jorge; Lucena, José Manuel; Díez Dapena, Jesús; Candau, Pedro; García-Fernández, José Manuel (Public Library Of Science (PLOS), 2008)
      The marine cyanobacteria Prochlorococcus have been considered photoautotrophic microorganisms, although the utilization of exogenous sugars has never been specifically addressed in them. We studied glucose uptake in ...
    • NRT2.4 and NRT2.5 Are Two Half-Size Transporters from the Chlamydomonas NRT2 Family 

      Higuera Sobrino, J.J.; Calatrava, Victoria; González, Zaira; Mariscal, Vicente; Siverio, Jose Manuel; Fernández Reyes, Emilio; Galván Cejudo, Aurora (MDPI, 2016)
      The NRT2 transporters mediate High Affinity Nitrate/NitriteTransport (HAN/NiT), which are essential for nitrogen acquisition from these inorganic forms. The NRT2 proteins are encoded by a multigene family in plants, and ...
    • Physiological Studies of Glutamine Synthetases I and III from Synechococcus sp. WH7803 Reveal Differential Regulation 

      Dominguez Martin, Maria Agustina; Díez, Jesús; García-Fernández, José Manuel (Frontiers, 2016)
      The marine picocyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. WH7803 possesses two glutamine synthetases (GSs; EC 6.3.1.2), GSI encoded by glnA and GSIII encoded by glnN. This is the first work addressing the physiological regulation ...
    • Regulatory and metabolic adaptations in the nitrogen assimilation of marine picocyanobacteria 

      Díez, Jesús; López-Lozano, Antonio; Domínguez-Martín, María A.; Gómez-Baena, Guadalupe; Muñoz Marín, Mª Carmen; Melero-Rubio, Yesica; García-Fernández, José Manuel (Oxford University Press, 2022)
      Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are the two most abundant photosynthetic organisms on Earth, with a strong influence on the biogeochemical carbon and nitrogen cycles. Early reports demonstrated the streamlining of ...
