dc.description.abstractOxygenic photosynthesis crucially depends on proteins that possess Fe (2+) or Fe/S complexes as co-factors or prosthetic groups. Here, we show that the small regulatory RNA (sRNA) IsaR1 (Iron-Stress-Activated RNA 1) plays a pivotal role in acclimation to low-iron conditions. The IsaR1 regulon consists of more than 15 direct targets, including Fe (2+)-containing proteins involved in photosynthetic electron transfer, detoxification of anion radicals, citrate cycle, and tetrapyrrole biogenesis. IsaR1 is essential for maintaining physiological levels of Fe/S cluster biogenesis proteins during iron deprivation. Consequently, IsaR1 affects the acclimation of the photosynthetic apparatus to iron starvation at three levels: (1) directly, via posttranscriptional repression of gene expression; (2) indirectly, via suppression of pigment; and (3) Fe/S cluster biosynthesis. Homologs of IsaR1 are widely conserved throughout the cyanobacterial phylum. We conclude that IsaR1 is a critically important riboregulator. These findings provide a new perspective for understanding the regulation of iron homeostasis in photosynthetic organisms.
