Synechocystis: sp. PCC 6803 is a unicellular motile cyanobacterium, which shows positive or negative phototaxis on agar plates under lateral illumination. By gene disruption in a substrain showing of positive phototaxis, it was demonstrated that mutants defective in sll0038, sll0039, sll0041, sll0042 or sll0043 lost positive phototaxis but showed negative phototaxis away from the light source. Mutants of sll0040, which is located within the cluster of these genes, retained the capacity of positive phototaxis but to a lesser extent than the parent cells. These genes are homologous to che genes, which are involved in flagellar switching for bacterial chemotaxis. Interestingly, sll0041 (designated pisJ1) is predicted to have a chromophore-binding motif of phytochrome-like proteins and a signaling motif of chemoreceptors for bacterial chemotaxis. It is strongly suggested that the positive phototactic response was mediated by a phytochrome-like photoreceptor and CheA/CheY-type signal transduction system.
