Heterotrimerization of PII-like signalling proteins: implications for PII-mediated signal transduction systems.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1999

Forchhammer K, Hedler A, Strobel H, Weiss V

Abstract excerpt

PII-like signalling molecules are trimeric proteins composed of 12-13 kDa polypeptides encoded by the glnB gene family. Heterologous expression of a cyanobacterial glnB gene in Escherichia coli leads to an inactivation of E. coli's own PII signalling system. In the present work, we show that this effect is caused by the formation of functionally inactive heterotrimers between the cyanobacterial glnB gene product...
