Abstract excerpt
A response regulator, NblR, of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 is known to induce expression of the nblA gene, a key factor in phycobilisome degradation (bleaching) under nutrient-deprivation conditions. In this study, we observed phosphorylation-independent regulation of NblR activity. We constructed a mutant strain expressing NblR (D57A), in which a putative phospho-accepting Asp-57 was...
