Abstract excerpt
The P(II) family of proteins is found in all three domains of life and serves as a central regulator of the function of proteins involved in nitrogen metabolism, reflecting the nitrogen and carbon balance in the cell. The genetic elimination of the genes encoding these proteins typically leads to severe growth problems, but the basis of this effect has been unknown except with Escherichia coli. We have analysed a...
