Nitrogen regulatory protein P-II 1; In nitrogen-limiting conditions, when the ratio of Gln to 2- ketoglutarate decreases, P-II is uridylylated to P-II-UMP. P-II-UMP allows the deadenylation of glutamine synthetase (GS), thus activating the enzyme. Conversely, in nitrogen excess P-II is deuridylated and promotes the adenylation of GS. P-II indirectly controls the transcription of the GS gene (glnA). P-II prevents NR-II-catalyzed conversion of NR-I to NR-I-phosphate, the transcriptional activator of glnA. When P-II is uridylylated to P-II-UMP, these events are reversed; Belongs to the P( [...]

Nitrogen regulatory protein P-II 1; Indirectly regulates nitrogen metabolism; at high nitrogen levels P-II prevents the phosphorylation of NR-I, the transcriptional activator of the glutamine synthetase gene (glnA); at low nitrogen levels P-II is uridylylated to form PII-UMP and interacts with an adenylyltransferase (GlnE) that activates GlnA; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Ammonium transporter; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

ATPase AAA; Required for activation of most nif operons, which are directly involved in nitrogen fixation.

protein-PII uridylyltransferase; Modifies, by uridylylation and deuridylylation, the PII regulatory proteins (GlnB and homologs), 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 fixation and metabolism (Probable).

Forms a homododecamer; forms glutamine from ammonia and glutamate with the conversion of ATP to ADP and phosphate; also functions in the assimilation of ammonia; highly regulated protein controlled by the addition/removal of adenylyl groups by adenylyltransferase from specific tyrosine residues; addition of adenylyl groups results in inactivation of the enzyme; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Response regulator GlrR; Probable member of a two-component regulatory system YfhA/YfhK.

Transcriptional regulator; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

RNA polymerase factor sigma-54; Sigma factors are initiation factors that promote the attachment of RNA polymerase to specific initiation sites and are then released. This sigma factor is responsible for the expression of the nitrogen fixation genes. The open complex (sigma-54 and core RNA polymerase) serves as the receptor for receipt of the melting signal from the remotely bound activator protein NifA for the expression of the nitrogen fixation proteins.
