Disease relevance of dpsA

  • The two genes adjacent to idiA, and dpsA located 2018 nt downstream of idiA, were insertionally inactivated in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 and the corresponding mutants were partially characterized [1].
 

High impact information on dpsA

  • These experiments provide evidence that the gene products of idiB, located immediately downstream of idiA, and of dpsA are involved in the activation of IdiA expression, since the absence of each of these two gene products prevents the greatly elevated expression of IdiA under nutrient deficiency [1].
