- W1485634206 abstract "Mutants of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 that are incapable of sustained growth with air as the sole source of nitrogen were generated by using Tn5-derived transposons. Nitrogenase was expressed only in mutants that showed obvious morphological signs of heterocyst differentiation. Even under rigorously anaerobic conditions, nitrogenase was not synthesized in filaments that were unable to develop heterocysts. These results suggest that competence to synthesize nitrogenase requires a process that leads to an early stage of visible heterocyst development and are consistent with the idea that synthesis of nitrogenase is under developmental control (J. Elhai and C. P. Wolk, EMBO J. 9:3379-3388, 1990). We isolated mutants in which differentiation was arrested at an intermediate stage of heterocyst formation, suggesting that differentiation proceeds in stages; those mutants, as well as mutants with aberrant heterocyst envelopes and a mutant with defective respiration, expressed active nitrogenase under anaerobic conditions only. These results support the idea that the heterocyst envelope and heterocyst respiration are required for protection of nitrogenase from inactivation by oxygen. In the presence of air, such mutants contained less nitrogenase than under anaerobic conditions, and the Fe-protein was present in a posttranslationally modified inactive form. We conclude that internal partial oxygen pressure sufficient to inactivate nitrogenase is insufficient to repress synthesis of the enzyme completely. Among mutants with an apparently intact heterocyst envelope and normal respiration, three had virtually undetectable levels of dinitrogenase reductase under all conditions employed. However, three others expressed oxygen-sensitive nitrogenase activity, suggesting that respiration and barrier to diffusion of gases may not suffice for oxygen protection of nitrogenase in these mutants; two of these mutants reduced acetylene to ethylene and ethane." @default.
