Cross-Activation of Two Nitrogenase Gene Clusters by CnfR1 or CnfR2 in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
In Anabaena variabilis, the nif1 genes, which are activated by CnfR1, produce a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in heterocysts. Similarly, the nif2 genes, which are activated by CnfR2, make a Mo-nitrogenase that is expressed only in anaerobic ...

Formation and maintenance of nitrogen-fixing cell patterns in filamentous cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Cyanobacteria forming one-dimensional filaments are paradigmaticmodel organisms of the transition between unicellular andmulticellular living forms. Under nitrogen-limiting conditions, infilaments of the genus Anabaena, some cells differentiate into ...

A Heterocyst-Specific Antisense RNA Contributes To Metabolic Reprogramming In Nostoc sp. PCC 7120.

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2019
Upon nitrogen deficiency, some filamentous cyanobacteria differentiate specialized cells, called heterocysts, devoted to N2 fixation. Heterocysts appear regularly spaced along the filaments and exhibit structural and metabolic adaptations, such as loss ...

Antenna Modification Leads to Enhanced Nitrogenase Activity in a High Light-Tolerant Cyanobacterium

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Biological nitrogen fixation is an energy-intensive process that contributes significantly toward supporting life on this planet. Among nitrogen-fixing organisms, cyanobacteria remain unrivaled in their ability to fuel the energetically expensive ...

Photophobotaxis of single‐celled and filamentous cyanobacteria

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
LED illumination from below induces central accumulation of cyanobacterial species. Abstract Phototaxis refers to an organism's movement toward a light source, while photophobotaxis involves movement into illuminated regions. Although phototaxis in cyanobacteria has been widely studied, photophobotaxis has been investigated in only a few species.

Heterocyst-Specific Transcription of NsiR1, a Non-Coding RNA Encoded in a Tandem Array of Direct Repeats in Cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In response to nitrogen deficiency, some cyanobacteria develop heterocysts, a terminally differentiated cell type, specialized for the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen.

Thiol post‐translational modifications modulate allosteric regulation of the OpcA–G6PDH complex through conformational gate control

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In cyanobacteria, the redox‐sensitive protein OpcA acts as a metabolic switch for G6PDH, enabling rapid adjustment of reducing power generation from glycogen catabolism and thereby precisely regulating carbon flux between anabolic and catabolic pathways.

Thylakoid membrane function in heterocysts

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2016
Multicellular cyanobacteria form different cell types in response to environmental stimuli. Under nitrogen limiting conditions a fraction of the vegetative cells in the filament differentiate into heterocysts. Heterocysts are specialized in atmospheric nitrogen fixation and differentiation involves drastic morphological changes on the cellular level ...
