Although apparently derived from the bacterial two-component signaling system, the ethylene system in Arabidopsis is different in that the His kinase activity that defines component 1 in bacteria is not essential to the transduction in Arabidopsis. The genome of the cyanobacterium Anabaena encodes proteins with both an ethylene-binding domain and an active His kinase domain. It seems likely that in the course of evolution, the ethylene receptor of vascular plants was derived from that of a cyanobacterial endosymbiont, and that the bacterial His kinase became a Ser/Thr kinase in the plant. 

FIGURE 19-5 Iron-sulfur centers. The Fe-S centers of iron-sulfur proteins may be as simple as (a), with a single Fe ion surrounded by the S atoms of four Cys residues. Other centers include both inorganic and Cys S atoms, as in (b) 2Fe-2S or (c) 4Fe-4S centers, (d) The ferredoxin of the cyanobacterium Anabaena 7120 has one 2Fe-2S center (PDB ID 1 FRD) Fe is red, inorganic S2 is yellow, and the S of Cys is orange. (Note that in these designations only the inorganic S atoms are counted. For example, in the 2Fe-2S center (b), each Fe ion is actually surrounded by four S atoms.) The exact standard reduction potential of the iron in these centers depends on the type of center and its interaction with the associated protein.

From Chang et al.279 (C) Schematic representation of a phycobilosome of a strain of the cyanobacterium Anabaena. Each disk in the structure contains an (a(3)3 phycobiliprotein. The circles marked AP are cross-sections of rods, each one composed of about four disks of allophycocyanin (AP).
