ntcA | Nitrogen-responsive regulatory protein; Required for full expression of proteins subject to ammonium repression. Transcriptional activator of genes subject to nitrogen control. (223 aa) | ||||
patS | Heterocyst-inhibiting signaling peptide; Inhibits heterocyst differentiation. Seems to control heterocyst pattern formation through intercellular signaling mechanisms. In Anabaena filaments every 10th vegetative cell terminally differentiates into a heterocyst specialized for nitrogen fixation. Seems to inhibit the formation of adjacent heterocysts. Inhibits the DNA-binding of HetR. (17 aa) | ||||
hetR | Heterocyst differentiation protein; Controls heterocyst differentiation. Has both a protease and a DNA-binding activity. Binds the promoter regions of hetR, hepA and patS. (299 aa) |
