Abstract excerpt
Cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 contains a single gene (glbN) coding for GlbN, a protein of the 2/2 hemoglobin lineage. The precise function of GlbN is not known, but comparison to similar 2/2 hemoglobins suggests that reversible dioxygen binding is not its main activity. In this report, the results of in vitro and in vivo experiments probing the role of GlbN are presented. Transcription profiling...
