Disease relevance of glnB

To determine the importance of bacterial nitrogen metabolism in symbiosis, we have characterized a key regulator of this metabolism in Rhizobium meliloti, the uridylylatable P(II) protein encoded by glnB [1].

High impact information on glnB

These responses depended on both the ntrC and glnB nitrogen regulators [2].
The smc01041-ntrBC operon was negatively autoregulated in a glnB-dependent fashion, indicating an involvement of phosphorylated NtrC [2].
