Abstract excerpt
Two structurally similar but functionally distinct PII-like proteins, PII and GlnK, regulate nitrogen assimilation in Escherichia coli. Studies with cells indicated that both PII (the glnB product) and GlnK (the glnK product) acted through the kinase/phosphatase NRII [NtrB, the glnL (ntrB) produc...
