Abstract excerpt
Flavodiiron proteins present in many prokaryotic and some eukaryotic organisms have a capacity to protect cells against nitrosative or oxidative stress. In Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, Flv1 and Flv3 proteins are encoded by families of two genes. We demonstrate here that flv1A and flv3A genes are up-regulated in vegetative cells in low CO₂ and high light conditions. In contrast, flv1B and flv3B genes are expressed in...
