Functional Overlap of hetP and hetZ in Regulation of Heterocyst Differentiation in Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120.

abstract：:The mutant am-14 produces no active nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-linked glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and no protein showing immunological cross-reaction with the enzyme. Nevertheless, it shows complementation with several other am mutants in heterokaryons. Active GDH can be extracted from heterokaryons...
