| Function |
Inhibits heterocyst differentiation. Seems to control heterocyst pattern formation through intercellular signaling mechanisms. In Anabaena filaments every 10th vegetative cell terminally differentiates into a heterocyst specialized for nitrogen fixation. Seems to inhibit the formation of adjacent heterocysts. Inhibits the DNA-binding of HetR. {ECO:0000269|Pubmed:11274121, ECO:0000269|Pubmed:15051891, ECO:0000269|Pubmed:9794762}. |
