The PII protein interacts with the Amt ammonium transport and modulates nitrate/nitrite assimilation in mycobacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyPII proteins are signal transduction proteins that belong to a widely distributed family of proteins involved in the modulation of different metabolisms in bacteria. These proteins are homotrimers carrying a flexible loop, named T-loop, which changes its

Split NanoLuc technology allows quantitation of interactions between PII protein and its receptors with unprecedented sensitivity and reveals transient interactions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 PII proteins constitute a widespread signal transduction superfamily in the prokaryotic world. The canonical PII signal proteins sense metabolic state of the cells by binding the metabolite molecules ATP, ADP and 2-oxoglutarate.

Streptococcus mutans GlnK protein: an unusual PII family member [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2011 Streptococcus mutans is a Gram-positive bacterium present in the oral cavity, and is considered to be one of the leading causes of dental caries. S. mutans has a glnK gene, which codes for a PII-like protein that is possibly involved in the integration ...

Arabidopsis PII Proteins Form Characteristic Foci in Chloroplasts Indicating Novel Properties in Protein Interaction and Degradation [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 The PII protein is an evolutionary, highly conserved regulatory protein found in both bacteria and higher plants. In bacteria, it modulates the activity of several enzymes, transporters, and regulatory factors by interacting with them and thereby ...

The Nitrogen Regulatory PII Protein (GlnB) and N-Acetylglucosamine 6-Phosphate Epimerase (NanE) Allosterically Activate Glucosamine 6-Phosphate Deaminase (NagB) in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
J Bacteriol, 2018 Amino sugars are good sources of both ammonia and fructose-6-phosphate, produced by the glucosamine 6-phosphate deaminase, NagB. NagB is known to be allosterically regulated by N -acetylglucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6P) and the ...

, 2020 The signaling transduction proteins of PII superfamily are one of the ancient and highly conserved protein families in nature and widely distributed in all domains of life. Canonical PII exerts it’s signaling function via the binding of small effector molecules, including ATP, ADP, and 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG). All cyanobacteria contain a PII homologue of

The regulatory PII protein controls arginine biosynthesis in Arabidopsis [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 In higher plants, PII is a nuclear‐encoded plastid protein which is homologous to bacterial PII signalling proteins known to be involved in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism. A reduced ornithine, citrulline and arginine accumulation was observed in two Arabidopsis PII knock‐out mutants in response to resupply after N starvation.
