Project description:The whole regulon of the LTTR All3953 was determined at 3 h after Ci deficiency in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 by ChIP-Seq analysis. A TAP-tagged version of the protein was used for the chromatin immunoprecipitation. A total of 142 peaks were found, mainly located in the chromosome of Anabaena.
Project description:In order to examine the response of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 to an infection of the Cyanophage A1, we have used customized microarrays to identify genes potentially up- or downregulated by the infection. For this we compared cell culture before and after infection.
Project description:To examine Alr3614 influence on the expression of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, we have used customized microarrays to identify genes potentially regulated by this short DNA-binding protein. We compared the expression of an Alr3614-deletion strain with an Alr3614-complementation strain.
Project description:Here, we report the comparison of transcriptomes of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 and a FurC-overexpressing derivative strain grown under standard conditions (BG11) and after 48 hours of nitrogen step-down (BG110). Anabaena sp PCC7120 is a cyanobacterium that differentiates specialized nitrogen-fixing cells called heterocysts. Our data suggests that FurC directly controls the regulation of heterocyst differentiation and nitrogen fixation in this cyanobacterium. In addition, we found that FurC is also clearly involved in the regulation of several genes belonging to different functional categories, such as iron metabolism, photosynthesis and regulatory functions.
