Abstract excerpt
The novel asr1734 gene of Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120 inhibited heterocyst development when present in extra copies. Overexpression of asr1734 inhibited heterocyst development in several strains including the wild type and two strains that form multiple contiguous heterocysts (Mch phenotype): a PatS null mutant and a hetR(R223W) mutant. Overexpression of asr1734 also caused increased nblA messenger RNA...
