The hypothetical protein 'All4779', and not the annotated 'Alr0088' and 'Alr7579' proteins, is the major typical single-stranded DNA binding protein of the cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. PCC7120.

Single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) proteins are essential for all DNA-dependent cellular processes. Typical SSB proteins have an N-terminal Oligonucleotide-Binding (OB) fold, a Proline/Glycine rich region, followed by a C-terminal acidic tail. In the genome of the heterocystous nitrogen-fixing cyanob...
