Expanding the cyanobacterial nitrogen regulatory network: The GntR-like regulator PlmA interacts with the PII-PipX complex

Expanding the cyanobacterial nitrogen regulatory network: The GntR-like regulator PlmA interacts with the PII-PipX complex

Cyanobacteria, phototrophic organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis, perceive nitrogen status by sensing 2-oxoglutarate levels. PII, a widespread signaling protein, senses and transduces nitrogen and energy status to target proteins, regulating metabolism and gene expression. In cyanobacteria...
