Abstract excerpt
Two Bradyrhizobium japonicum nolA mutants were constructed and used to test the functional role of NolA in nodulation. Contrary to the previous hypothesis that NolA acts as a repressor of nod gene transcription, the expression of a nodD1-lacZ or nodY-lacZ fusion in the nolA mutant strains was similar to that found in the wild type. However, NolA does appear to act as a transcriptional regulatory protein since it...
