Abstract excerpt
Heterocyst differentiation in the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 occurs at regular intervals under nitrogen starvation and is regulated by a host of signaling molecules responsive to availability of fixed nitrogen. The heterocyst differentiation inhibitor PatS contains the active pentapeptide RGSGR (PatS-5) at its C-terminus considered the minimum PatS fragment required for normal...
