Nitrogen assimilation relies on photosynthetically-produced energy and reducing equivalents. Here, we identify a small protein, PsbO-interacting regulator of nitrate assimilation (PirN), as a key coordinator of photosynthesis and nitrate assimilation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis). Pi...
The multi-subunit membrane protein complex Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes the light driven oxidation of water and with this the initial step of photosynthetic electron transport in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Its biogenesis is coordinated by a network of auxiliary proteins that facilitate the...
