cyAbrB Transcriptional Regulators as Safety Devices To Inhibit Heterocyst Differentiation in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2019 Spore formation in Bacillus subtilis and Streptomyces has been extensively studied as models of prokaryotic nonterminal cell differentiation. In these organisms, many cells/hyphae differentiate simultaneously, which is governed by a network in which one ...

Relationships between the ABC-exporter HetC and peptides that regulate the spatiotemporal pattern of heterocyst distribution in Anabaena. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In the model cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, cells called heterocysts that are specialized in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen differentiate from vegetative cells of the filament in the absence of combined nitrogen.

Terminal heterocyst differentiation in the Anabaena patA mutant as a result of post-transcriptional modifications and molecular leakage. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 The Anabaena genus is a model organism of filamentous cyanobacteria whose vegetative cells can differentiate under nitrogen-limited conditions into a type of cell called heterocyst.

The heterocyst differentiation transcriptional regulator HetR of the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena forms tetramers and can be regulated by phosphorylation [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2016 Many filamentous cyanobacteria respond to the external cue of nitrogen scarcity by the differentiation of heterocysts, cells specialized in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen in oxic environments. Heterocysts follow a spatial pattern along the filament

FurA influences heterocyst differentiation in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120
FEBS Letters, 2013 In Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, FurA is a global transcriptional regulator whose expression is strongly induced by NtcA in proheterocysts and remains stably expressed in mature heterocysts. In the present study, overexpression of furA partially suppressed heterocyst differentiation by impairing morphogenesis at an early stage.
