Figure 1

Pictorial representation depicting role of glutamine synthetase in nitrogen metabolism and PLG synthesis. In low nitrogen conditions GlnR acts as a positive regulator and activates transcription of glnA1 gene. In high nitrogen conditions GlnE acts as a negative regulator and adenylylated GS protein, which thus becomes inactive. GS, glutamine synthetase; ↑↑↑, up-regulation.
