Methylammonium/ammonium ion, glutamine, glutamate, arginine and proline uptake, and their assimilation as nitrogen sources, was studied in Nostoc muscorum and its glutamine synthetase-deficient mutant. Glutamine served as nitrogen source independent of glutamine synthetase activity. Glutamate was not metabolised as a nitrogen source but still inhibited nitrogenase activity and diazotrophic growth. Glutamine synthetase activity was essential for the assimilation of N2, ammonia, arginine and proline as nitrogen sources but not for the control of their transport, heterocyst formation, and production of ammonia or aminoacid dependent repressor signal for N2-fixing heterocysts. These results also suggest that glutamine synthetase serves as the sole route of ammonia assimilation and glutamine synthesis, and ammonia per se as the repressor signal for N2-fixing heterocysts and methylammonium (ammonium) transport. 相似文献

Many of the gene products that participate in nitrogen metabolism are sensitive to nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR), i.e., their expression is decreased to low levels when readily used nitrogen sources such as asparagine are provided. Previous work has shown this NCR sensitivity requires the cis-acting UASNTR element and trans-acting GLN3. Here, we extend the analysis to include the response of their expression to deletion of the URE2 locus. The expression of these nitrogen catabolic genes becomes, to various degrees, NCR insensitive in the ure2 deletion. This response is shown to be mediated through the GATAA-containing UASNTR element and supports the current idea that the NCR regulatory circuit involves the following steps: environmental signal-->URE2-->GLN3-->UASNTR operation-->NCR-sensitive gene expression. The various responses of the nitrogen catabolic genes' expression to deletion of the URE2 locus also indicate that not all NCR is mediated through URE2. 相似文献
