Disease relevance of cyaB1

  • The gene cyaB1 from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 codes for a protein consisting of two N-terminal GAF domains (GAF-A and GAF-B), a PAS domain and a class III adenylyl cyclase catalytic domain [1].
  • In cyanobacteria, cyaB1 may act as a cAMP switch to stabilize committed developmental decisions [1].
 

High impact information on cyaB1

  • The cyaB2 GAF domain NKFDE motifs contain inserts of 14 (GAF-A) and 19 (GAF-B) amino acids not present in PDE2 or cyaB1 [2].
