Abstract excerpt
P(II) proteins signal the cellular nitrogen status in numerous bacteria, and in cyanobacteria P(II) is subjected to serine phosphorylation when the cells experience a high C to N balance. In the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942, the P(II) protein (glnB gene product) is known to mediate the ammonium-dependent inhibition of nitrate and nitrite uptake. The analysis of gene expression through...
