Abstract: | The organization of carbonic anhydrase (CA) system in halo- and alkaliphilic cyanobacterium Rhabdoderma lineare was studied by Western blot analysis and immunocytochemical electron microscopy. The presence of putative extracellular alpha-CA of 60 kDa in the glycocalyx, forming a tight sheath around the cell, and of two intracellular beta-CA is reported. We show for the first time that the beta-CA of 60 kDa is expressed constitutively and associated with polypeptides of photosystem II (beta-CA-PS II). Another soluble beta-CA of 25 kDa was induced in low-bicarbonate medium. Induction of synthesis of the latter beta-CA was accompanied by an increase in the intracellular pool of inorganic carbon, which suggests an important role of this enzyme in the functioning of a CO(2)-concentrating mechanism. |
