The genes opcA and zwf are located close to each other in most of cyanobacterial strains and the mutations in the opcA gene were reported to lose most of G6PDH activity. One of the reasons suggested for this loss was the polar effect of the mutation on expression of the zwf gene in the same operon and the other was absence of the OpcA polypeptide necessary for the catalytic activity of G6PDH. Synechocystis sp....
