Abstract excerpt
In cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, we observed that htpG-overexpression caused remarkable growth inhibition. In addition, subcellular fractionation experiments showed that HtpG was localized in the membrane fraction. To understand its function in cyanobacteria, we carried out yeast two-hybrid screening to identify specific proteins interacting with HtpG, and found out, HemE, uroporphyrinogen...
