Differential regulation by low temperature of the gene for an RNA-binding protein, rbpA3, in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis strain M3.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The RbpA3 protein of Anabaena variabilis contains one RNA-binding domain with a carboxy-terminal glycinerich domain. Levels of two transcripts of the rbpA3 gene were differentially regulated by growth temperature. The RbpA3 protein is related to the RbpC protein within the group of cyanobacterial Rbps.

The rbp gene family of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis strain M3 consists of eight members that encode small RNA-binding proteins containing a single RNA recognition motif (RRM). Similar genes are found in the genomes of Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, Helicobacter pylori and Treponema pallidum, but are absent from the other completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes. The expression of the rbp ...
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 کاملDisruption analysis of the gene for a cold-regulated RNA-binding protein, rbpA1, in Anabaena: cold-induced initiation of the heterocyst differentiation pathway.
A cold-regulated operon, rbpA1-rpsU, encodes an RNA-binding protein and a ribosomal protein in Anabaena variabilis M3. The level of expression of this gene cluster was about ten times higher at temperatures below 30 degrees C than at 38 degrees C. To study the role of the RbpA1 protein in vivo, we constructed insertional disruptants of rbpA1. These strains were totally devoid of RbpA1 protein b...
متن کاملRegulation of Three Nitrogenase Gene Clusters in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413
The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 fixes nitrogen under aerobic conditions in specialized cells called heterocysts that form in response to an environmental deficiency in combined nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation is mediated by the enzyme nitrogenase, which is very sensitive to oxygen. Heterocysts are microxic cells that allow nitrogenase to function in a filament comprise...
متن کاملMolybdate transport and its effect on nitrogen utilization in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413.
Molybdenum is an essential component of the cofactors of many metalloenzymes including nitrate reductase and Mo-nitrogenase. The cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 uses nitrate and atmospheric N2 as sources of nitrogen for growth. Two of the three nitrogenases in this strain are Mo-dependent enzymes, as is nitrate reductase; thus, transport of molybdate is important for growth of thi...
