Abstract

The entire genome of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 6301 (formerly Anacystis nidulans Berkeley strain 6301) was sequenced. The genome consisted of a circular chromosome 2,696,255 bp long. A total of 2,525 potential protein-coding genes, two sets of rRNA genes, 45 tRNA genes representing 42 tRNA species, and several genes for small stable RNAs were assigned to the chromosome by similarity searches and computer predictions. The translated products of 56% of the potential protein-coding genes showed sequence similarities to experimentally identified and predicted proteins of known function, and the products of 35% of the genes showed sequence similarities to the translated products of hypothetical genes. The remaining 9% of genes lacked significant similarities to genes for predicted proteins in the public DNA databases. Some 139 genes coding for photosynthesis-related components were identified. Thirty-seven genes for two-component signal transduction systems were also identified. This is the smallest number of such genes identified in cyanobacteria, except for marine cyanobacteria, suggesting that only simple signal transduction systems are found in this strain. The gene arrangement and nucleotide sequence of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 6301 were nearly identical to those of a closely related strain Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, except for the presence of a 188.6 kb inversion. The sequences as well as the gene information shown in this paper are available in the Web database, CYORF (http://www.cyano.genome.jp/).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
