Abstract excerpt

In most bacteria, nitrogen metabolism is tightly regulated and P(II) proteins play a pivotal role in the regulatory processes. Rhodobacter capsulatus possesses two genes (glnB and glnK) encoding P(II)-like proteins. The glnB gene forms part of a glnB-glnA operon and the glnK gene is located immediately upstream of amtB, encoding a (methyl-) ammonium transporter. Expression of glnK is activated by NtrC under...
