Abstract excerpt
HetR, master regulator of heterocyst differentiation in the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, stimulates heterocyst differentiation via transcriptional autoregulation and is negatively regulated by PatS and HetN, both of which contain the active pentapeptide RGSGR. However, the direct targets of PatS and HetN remain uncertain. Here, we report experimental evidence for direct binding between...
