Abstract excerpt
In Klebsiella pneumoniae, transcription of the nitrogen fixation (nif) genes is regulated in response to molecular oxygen or availability of fixed nitrogen by the coordinated activities of the nifA and nifL gene products. NifA is a nif-specific transcriptional activator, the activity of which is inhibited by interaction with NifL. Nitrogen control of NifL occurs at two levels: transcription of the nifLA operon is...
