Abstract excerpt
The feedback-inhibited form of Bacillus subtilis glutamine synthetase regulates the activity of the TnrA transcription factor through a protein-protein interaction that prevents TnrA from binding to DNA. Five mutants containing feedback-resistant glutamine synthetases (E65G, S66P, M68I, H195Y, and P318S) were isolated by screening for colonies capable of cross-feeding Gln(-) cells. In vitro enzymatic assays...
