Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 = FACHB-418 upon transfer to high light, the transcript levels of all investigated carotenogenic genes including those coding for phytoene synthase, phytoene desaturase and both ketolases are increased. Transcription changes proceed via binding of the transcription factor NtcA to the promoter regions of the carotenogenic genes. The binding is absolutely dependent on the presence of reductants and oxo-glutarate and inhibited by 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea up
