Article Abstract
Cyanothece 51142 contains a 78-residue protein, cce_0567, that falls into the DUF683 family of proteins associated with nitrogen fixation. Here we report the assignment of most of the main chain and 13C(beta) side chain resonances of the approximately 40 kDa homo-tetramer.

Article Synopsis
- Diazotrophic cyanobacteria typically fix nitrogen gas, but are rarely found in coastal areas with limited nitrogen, leading to an ecological mystery.
- Research shows that a specific coastal cyanobacterium, Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 (now called Crocosphaera subtropica), requires sodium ions for nitrogen fixation and is inhibited at low sodium chloride concentrations.
- Despite producing nitrogenase enzymes when sodium is absent, the organism fails to fix nitrogen or grow due to low ATP supply, indicating that sodium plays a crucial role in its energy metabolism for N fixation.

The discovery of nitrogen fixation in unicellular cyanobacteria provided the first clues for the existence of a circadian clock in prokaryotes. However, recalcitrance to genetic manipulation barred their use as model systems for deciphering the clock function. Here, we explore the circadian clock in the now genetically amenable Cyanothece 51142, a unicellular, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium.
