1.
Ortega-Martinez P, Nikkanen L, Wey L, Florencio F, Allahverdiyeva Y, Diaz-Troya S
New Phytol . 2024 May; 243(1):162-179. PMID: 38706429
Some cyanobacteria can grow photoautotrophically or photomixotrophically by using simultaneously CO and glucose. The switch between these trophic modes and the role of glycogen, their main carbon storage macromolecule, was...
2.
Garcia-Canas R, Florencio F, Lopez-Maury L
Front Plant Sci . 2022 Dec; 13:1052019. PMID: 36518499
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) are two essential activities in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle that catalyze two irreversible reactions and are key for proper regulation and functioning of the cycle. These...

Ortega-Martinez P, Roldan M, Diaz-Troya S, Florencio F
J Exp Bot . 2022 Dec; 74(5):1532-1550. PMID: 36454663
Glycogen and starch are the main storage polysaccharides, acting as a source of carbon and energy when necessary. Interconversion of glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate by phosphoglucomutases connects the metabolism of these...

Bolay P, Hemm L, Florencio F, Hess W, Muro-Pastor M, Klahn S
RNA Biol . 2022 Jun; 19(1):811-818. PMID: 35678613
As the only oxygenic phototrophs among prokaryotes, cyanobacteria employ intricate mechanisms to regulate common metabolic pathways. These mechanisms include small protein inhibitors exerting their function by protein-protein interaction with key...
5.
Mallen-Ponce M, Huertas M, Florencio F
Antioxidants (Basel) . 2022 Apr; 11(4). PMID: 35453339
Cyanobacteria evolved the ability to perform oxygenic photosynthesis using light energy to reduce CO from electrons extracted from water and form nutrients. These organisms also developed light-dependent redox regulation through...
6.
Lima S, Matinha-Cardoso J, Giner-Lamia J, Couto N, Pacheco C, Florencio F, et al.
J Hazard Mater . 2022 Mar; 431:128594. PMID: 35259694
Metal homeostasis is fundamental for optimal performance of cell metabolic pathways. Over the course of evolution, several systems emerged to warrant an intracellular metal equilibrium. When exposed to growth-challenging copper...

Mallen-Ponce M, Huertas M, Sanchez-Riego A, Florencio F
Plant Physiol . 2021 Oct; 187(3):1325-1340. PMID: 34618018
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are disulfide oxidoreductases that regulate many biological processes. The m-type thioredoxin (TrxA) is the only Trx present in all oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. Extensive biochemical and proteomic analyses have...

Bolay P, Rozbeh R, Muro-Pastor M, Timm S, Hagemann M, Florencio F, et al.
mBio . 2021 Mar; 12(2). PMID: 33758091
Among prokaryotes, cyanobacteria have an exclusive position as they perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria substantially differ from other bacteria in further aspects, e.g., they evolved a plethora of unique regulatory mechanisms...

Garcia-Canas R, Giner-Lamia J, Florencio F, Lopez-Maury L
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2021 Jan; 118(5). PMID: 33495331
After the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), iron availability was greatly decreased, and photosynthetic organisms evolved several alternative proteins and mechanisms. One of these proteins, plastocyanin, is a type I blue-copper...

Muro-Pastor M, Cutillas-Farray A, Perez-Rodriguez L, Perez-Saavedra J, Vega-de Armas A, Paredes A, et al.
Plant Physiol . 2020 Sep; 184(4):1792-1810. PMID: 32900980
Cyanobacteria unable to fix atmospheric nitrogen have evolved sophisticated adaptations to survive to long periods of nitrogen starvation. These genetic programs are still largely unknown-as evidenced by the many proteins...
