PCC 7120 possess an intact but RT partially degenerated gene cluster encoding gas vesicles."; RL BMC Microbiol. 20:110-110(2020). CC -!- FUNCTION: Gas vesicles are hollow, gas filled proteinaceous CC nanostructures found in some microorganisms. During planktonic growth CC they allow positioning of the organism at a favorable depth for light CC or nutrient acquisition. GvpA forms the protein shell. CC {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00576}. CC -!- FUNCTION: Cluster expression in E.coli (gvpA1-gvpA2-gvpC-gvpN-gvpJ- CC gvpK-gvpF-gvpG-gvpV-gvpW) allows cells to float and produces CC irregularly shaped gas vesicles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32375647}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: The gas vesicle shell is 2 nm thick and consists of a single CC layer of this protein. It forms helical ribs nearly perpendicular to CC the long axis of the vesicle. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00576}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Gas vesicle shell {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_00576}. CC -!- INDUCTION: Constitutively transcribed when grown in a 12 hour CC light/dark regime at 2000 umol photon/m(2)/s; decreased light, growth CC at 38 degrees Celsius or both increased transcripts up to 23-fold. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32375647}. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the gas vesicle GvpA family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_00576, ECO:0000305}. CC -!- CAUTION: Despite the presence of an intact gas vesicle cluster and gvpA CC transcripts, there is no evidence this strain produces gas vesicles. CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32375647}.
