Abstract
Mutations A49P and Delta47-53 at the T loop of the Escherichia coli GlnB (PII) protein impair regulatory interactions with the two-component sensor regulator NtrB (P. Jiang, P. Zucker, M. R. Atkinson, E. S. Kamberov, W. Tirasophon, P. Chandran, B. R. Schepke, and A. J. Ninfa, J. Bacteriol. 179: 4342-4353, 1997). We show here that these mutations also impair interactions between PII and NtrB in the yeast two-hybrid system, indicating that defects in NtrB regulation closely reflect binding impairment. The reported results underline the strength of two-hybrid assays for analysis of interactions involving the T loop of PII proteins.Entities:
