Complete genome sequence of Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413
Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 is a filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium that has served as a model organism, with an extensive literature extending over 40 years. The strain has three distinct nitrogenases that function under different environmental conditions and is capable of photoautotrophic growth in the light and true heterotrophic growth in the dark using fructose as both carbo...
متن کاملRegulation of Three Nitrogenase Gene Clusters in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413
The filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 fixes nitrogen under aerobic conditions in specialized cells called heterocysts that form in response to an environmental deficiency in combined nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation is mediated by the enzyme nitrogenase, which is very sensitive to oxygen. Heterocysts are microxic cells that allow nitrogenase to function in a filament comprise...
متن کاملTranscriptional and mutational analysis of the uptake hydrogenase of the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413.
A 10-kb DNA region of the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 containing the structural genes of the uptake hydrogenase (hupSL) was cloned and sequenced. In contrast to the hupL gene of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120, which is interrupted by a 10.5-kb DNA fragment in vegetative cells, there is no programmed rearrangement within the hupL gene during the heterocyst differentiation of A. v...
متن کاملTranscription of hupSL in Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 is regulated by NtcA and not by hydrogen.
Nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria such as Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 use an uptake hydrogenase, encoded by hupSL, to recycle hydrogen gas that is produced as an obligate by-product of nitrogen fixation. The regulation of hupSL in A. variabilis is likely to differ from that of the closely related Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 because A. variabilis lacks the excision element-mediated regulation th...
متن کاملMolybdate transport and its effect on nitrogen utilization in the cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413.
Molybdenum is an essential component of the cofactors of many metalloenzymes including nitrate reductase and Mo-nitrogenase. The cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 uses nitrate and atmospheric N2 as sources of nitrogen for growth. Two of the three nitrogenases in this strain are Mo-dependent enzymes, as is nitrate reductase; thus, transport of molybdate is important for growth of thi...
