Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 possesses two genes, named ppa and ppx, which, respectively, encode proteins involved in the hydrolysis of inorganic phosphate polymers, namely, inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPA, EC 3.6.1.1), an essential enzyme that hydrolyzes pyrophosphate, and exopolyphosphatase (PPX, EC 3.6.1.11), a processive enzyme that releases the terminal orthophosphate group from linear...
