Abstract excerpt
Here, we report on the identification and characterization of a protein (Alr0267) named HesF, found in the extracellular milieu of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 grown diazotrophically. hesF was found to be highly upregulated upon transition from non-nitrogen-fixing to nitrogen-fixing conditions, and the highest transcript levels were detected towards the end of the heterocyst differentiation process. The hesF promoter...
