Abstract excerpt
Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium that can fix N(2) in differentiated cells called heterocysts. Anabaena open reading frames alr4167 and alr3187 encode, respectively, an ATPase subunit, BgtA, and a composite protein bearing periplasmic substrate-binding and transmembrane domains, BgtB, of an ABC-type high-affinity basic amino acid uptake transporter (Bgt). Open reading frame alr4167 is...
