Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 ntcA gene required for growth on nitrate and heterocyst development.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1994

Wei T F, Ramasubramanian T S, Golden J W

Abstract excerpt

The Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 ntcA (bifA) gene encodes a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein, NtcA (BifA, VF1) that interacts with the upstream region of several genes, including glnA, xisA, rbcL, and nifH. We have constructed a ntcA null mutant by interrupting the gene with an omega Spr-Smr cassette. The ntcA mutant was not able to grow with nitrate or atmospheric dinitrogen as the sole nitrogen source but...
