The glnA mRNA, encoding glutamine synthetase, is differentially accumulated in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 in media containing different nitrogen sources. With the different nitrogen compounds, transcription of glnA initiated at a single site located -146 nucleotides upstream of the translation start site of the gene. A similarity of the nif-like promoter of the glnA gene of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 and a binding-site sequence for the Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 transcription regulator, NtcA, were found upstream of the transcription initiation site.
编码谷氨酰胺合成酶的glnA mRNA在含有不同氮源的蓝藻聚球藻属PCC 7942菌株中差异积累。对于不同的氮化合物,glnA的转录起始于位于该基因翻译起始位点上游146个核苷酸处的单个位点。在鱼腥藻属PCC 7120菌株glnA基因的nif样启动子与聚球藻属PCC 7942菌株转录调节因子NtcA的结合位点序列之间发现了相似性,该相似性位于转录起始位点上游。
