Role of two NtcA-binding sites in the complex ntcA gene promoter of the heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 2008

Olmedo-Verd Elvira, Valladares Ana, Flores Enrique, Herrero Antonia, Muro-Pastor Alicia M

Abstract excerpt

Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium that fixes N(2) in specialized cells called heterocysts, which differentiate from vegetative cells in a process that requires the nitrogen control transcription factor NtcA. 2-Oxoglutarate-stimulated binding of purified NtcA to wild-type and modified versions of the ntcA gene promoter from Anabaena sp. was analyzed by mobility shift and DNase I...
