Functional characterisation of bicarbonate transporters from the cyanobacterial SbtA2 family and subsequent expression in tobacco

Loraine M. Rourke, Caitlin Siobhan Byrt, Benedict M. Long, G. Dean Price

The paper functionally characterizes SbtA2 bicarbonate transporters from marine cyanobacteria and attempts to express them in tobacco chloroplasts without improving photosynthesis.

Heterologous expression in E. coli reveals the bicarbonate transporter BicA2 drives carbon uptake in marine Prochlorococcus spp.

Loraine M. Rourke, Caitlin Siobhan Byrt, G. Dean Price, Benedict M. Long

This study functionally characterizes BicA2 as a Na+-dependent bicarbonate transporter in Prochlorococcus, revealing a previously uncharacterized component of its CO2-concentrating mechanism.
