title: Mutations in genes patA and patL of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 result in similar phenotypes, and the proteins encoded by those genes may interact.
abstract: PatA resembles a response regulator protein with a defective DNA-binding domain, and PatL (All3305) is a pentapeptide repeat protein. A yeast two-hybrid library identified PatL as a protein with which PatA may interact. Heterocysts of patA and patL Anabaena sp. form nearly exclusively terminally in long filaments, further linking the genes.
