Structural and Functional Characteristics of Two Molecular Variants of the Nitrogen Sensor PII in Maritime Pine

Structural and Functional Characteristics of Two Molecular Variants of the Nitrogen Sensor PII in Maritime Pine

High levels of nitrogen are stored as arginine during the last stages of seed formation in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton). The protein sensor PII regulates the feedback inhibition of arginine biosynthesis through interaction with the key enzyme N-acetylglutamate kinase (NAGK). In this study, t...
