Disease relevance of leuA
- In contrast, the Anabaena strain 7120 leuA gene did not complement the nifV mutation of R229I efficiently [1].
High impact information on leuA
- Plasmid pOST4 carried the Anabaena strain 7120 nifV-nifZ-nifT genes, whereas pOST2 contained the leuA and dapF genes [1].
Chemical compound and disease context of leuA
- The nifV and leuA genes, which encode homocitrate synthase and alpha-isopropylmalate synthase, respectively, were cloned from the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 by a PCR-based strategy [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of leuA
- Sequence analysis of cloned PCR products confirmed the presence of two different nifV-like DNA fragments, which were subsequently used as nifV- and leuA-specific probes, respectively, to clone XbaI fragments of 2.1 kbp (pOST4) and 2.6 kbp (pOST2) [1].
