Systematic mutagenesis of histidine kinases in combination with DNA microarray technology has allowed us to identify sensors for cold, hyperosmotic stress, sodium chloride, phosphate, and metal ions in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. His kinase 33 (Hik33) senses both cold and hyperosmotic stress and regulates the expression of different sets of genes when cells are exposed to each respective stress. Salt stress is perceived by Hik33, Hik34, and Hik16, each of which regulates the expression of a different set of genes. Hik7 has been identified as a sensor of phosphate deficiency. Moreover, manganese deficiency and an excess of nickel ions are sensed by Hik27 (ManS) and Hik30 (NrsS), respectively. The genomes of six strains of cyanobacteria all include genes for Hik33, Hik34, and Hik7, suggesting that these three histidine kinases might be important for the perception of stress in many or even all cyanobacteria.
