glnE | Fused deadenylyltransferase/adenylyltransferase for glutamine synthetase; Involved in the regulation of glutamine synthetase GlnA, a key enzyme in the process to assimilate ammonia. When cellular nitrogen levels are high, the C-terminal adenylyl transferase inactivates GlnA by covalent transfer of an adenylyl group from ATP to 'Tyr-398' of GlnA, thus reducing its activity. Conversely, when nitrogen levels are low, the N- terminal adenylyl removase (AR) activates GlnA by removing the adenylyl group by phosphorolysis, increasing its activity. The regulatory region of GlnE binds the signa [...] (946 aa) | ||||
glnD | Uridylyltransferase; Modifies, by uridylylation and deuridylylation, the PII regulatory proteins GlnB and GlnK, in response to the nitrogen status of the cell that GlnD senses through the glutamine level. Under low glutamine levels, catalyzes the conversion of the PII proteins and UTP to PII-UMP and PPi, while under higher glutamine levels, GlnD hydrolyzes PII-UMP to PII and UMP (deuridylylation). Thus, controls uridylylation state and activity of the PII proteins, and plays an important role in the regulation of nitrogen assimilation and metabolism. (890 aa) |
