Bioenergetics Studies of the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis
A cell-free system exhibiting both photophosphorylation (P /2e = 1) and oxidative phosphoryla tion (P/O up to 0 .8 ) is described for the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis. NADH and N A D PH were found to be equally effective as electron donors for oxidative phosphorylation. Low concentrations of U H D B T , an inhibitor of the cytochrome blc complex of mitochondria and chloroplasts. were fou...
متن کاملRNA processing of nitrogenase transcripts in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis.
Little is known about the regulation of nitrogenase genes in cyanobacteria. Transcription of the nifH1 and vnfH genes, encoding dinitrogenase reductases for the heterocyst-specific Mo-nitrogenase and the alternative V-nitrogenase, respectively, was studied by using a lacZ reporter. Despite evidence for a transcription start site just upstream of nifH1 and vnfH, promoter fragments that included ...
متن کاملThe Expression of a Third Nitrogenase in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis
Physiological experiments indicate that Anabaena variabilis can express either a Vor a Fe-nitrogenase in addition to the conventional, Mo-containing enzyme complex. The occur rence o f the Fe-nitrogenase in A. variabilis can also be concluded from D N A -D N A hybridiza tion experiments using cloned anfW or nifW probes coding for the smaller subunit (= nitroge nase reductase) o f the Fe-nitr...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent regulation of the ribosomal small-subunit protein S21 in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis M3.
The rpsU gene, which encodes the ribosomal small-subunit protein S21 in Anabaena, is not a part of the macromolecular-synthesis operon as in most enterobacteria but rather is located downstream of the rbpA1 gene, which encodes an RNA-binding protein. Two types of transcripts were detected for this gene cluster. The level of the major rbpA1-rpsU transcript was about 10 times higher at 22 degrees...
متن کاملEffect of glutamine on growth and heterocyst differentiation in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis.
Mutants of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis that were capable of increased uptake of glutamine, as compared with that in the parental strains, were isolated. Growth of these mutants and their parental strains was measured in media containing N2, ammonia, or glutamine as a source of nitrogen. All strains grew well with any one of these sources of fixed nitrogen. Much of the glutamine taken...
