narX (Nitrate/nitrite sensor protein NarX)

FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

Also known as NARX_ECOLI, narX, narR. Acts as a sensor for nitrate/nitrite and transduces signal of nitrate availability to the NarL protein and of both nitrate/nitrite to the NarP protein. NarX probably activates NarL and NarP by phosphorylation in the presence of nitrate. NarX also plays a negative role in controlling NarL activity, probably through dephosphorylation in the absence of nitrate.
