Abstract excerpt
The HetR protein has long been recognized as a key player in the regulation of heterocyst development. HetR is known to possess autoproteolytic and DNA-binding activities. During a search for mutants of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 that can overcome heterocyst suppression caused by overexpression of the patS gene, which encodes a negative regulator of differentiation, a bypass mutant strain, S2-45, was isolated that...
