Alr0397 is an outer membrane transporter for the siderophore schizokinen in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.
Iron uptake in proteobacteria by TonB-dependent outer membrane transporters represents a well-explored subject. In contrast, the same process has been scarcely investigated in cyanobacteria. The heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is known to secrete the siderophore schizokinen, but its transport system has remained unidentified. Inspection of the genome of strain PCC...
متن کاملNtcA regulates patA expression in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.
patA expression is induced 3 to 6 h after nitrogen step-down. We establish that the transcription of patA is under the positive control of NtcA. The patA promoter region shows two conserved NtcA-binding boxes. These NtcA-binding sites and their interaction with NtcA are key elements for patA expression in heterocysts.
متن کاملAnabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 hetY gene influences heterocyst development.
The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120 responds to starvation for fixed nitrogen by producing a semiregular pattern of nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Overexpression of the hetY gene partially suppressed heterocyst formation, resulting in an abnormal heterocyst pattern. Inactivation of hetY increased the time required for heterocyst maturation and caused ...
متن کاملCell Surface-Associated Proteins in the Filamentous Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120
The cell surface senses environmental changes first and transfers signals into the cell. To understand the response to environmental changes, it is necessary to analyze cell surface components, particularly cell surface-associated proteins. We therefore investigated cell surface-associated proteins from the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. The cell surface-associated pro...
متن کاملNovel DNA-binding proteins in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.
As an approach towards elucidation of the biochemical regulation of the progression of heterocyst differentiation in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, we have identified proteins that bind to a 150-bp sequence upstream from hepC, a gene that plays a role in the synthesis of heterocyst envelope polysaccharide. Such proteins were purified in four steps from extracts of vegetative cells of Anabaena sp...
