Effects of PII deficiency on expression of the genes involved in ammonium utilization in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Strain PCC 6803.

Plant & cell physiology - 1 Jun 2006

Takatani Nobuyuki, Omata Tatsuo

Abstract excerpt

The Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 mutant deficient in PII protein (the glnB gene product) was found to express glutamine synthetase activity at levels several times higher than the wild-type strain. There was no significant difference in nitrate reductase activity levels between the two strains, and the nitrite reductase levels were somewhat lower in the mutant than in the wild-type strain. The higher...
