abstract：:PII-like signalling molecules are trimeric proteins composed of 12-13 kDa polypeptides encoded by the glnB gene family. Heterologous expression of a cyanobacterial glnB gene in Escherichia coli leads to an inactivation of E. coli's own PII signalling system. In the present work, we show that this effect is caused by t...
