Disease relevance of devA

  • The gene devA of the filamentous heterocyst-form-ing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 encodes a protein with high similarity to ATP-binding cassettes of ABC transporters [1].
 

High impact information on devA

  • Mature and developing heterocysts inhibit nearby vegetative cells from differentiating; genes patA, devA, hetC, and the hetMNI locus may hold keys to understanding intercellular interactions that influence heterocyst formation [2].
  • Highly similar sequences are present 5' from the initiation codons and in the 3' untranslated regions of hetC and of two heterocyst-specific genes, devA and hetP [3].
  • The transposon had inserted itself within a 732-bp open reading frame designated devA [4].
  • Directed mutagenesis of devA in the wild-type strain showed that the phenotype of the mutant was caused by insertion of the transposon [4].
  • The wild-type form of devA on a shuttle vector complemented the mutation in M7 [4].
