Article Synopsis
- Membrane fluidity is crucial for how bacteria respond to temperature changes, with specific proteins sensing alterations in membrane thickness due to cold.
- In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis, around half of the genes that respond to cold are regulated by the protein Hik33, which also influences responses to other stress factors like salt and oxidative stress.
- The study reveals that the fluidity of the photosynthetic membrane affects the oxidation state of a key molecule (quinone pool), and this change can trigger gene expression related to cold stress, suggesting a possible universal mechanism for stress response in cells.
