Abstract

We demonstrate by using purified bacterial components that the protein kinases that regulate chemotaxis and transcription of nitrogen-regulated genes, CheA and NRII, respectively, have cross-specificities: CheA can phosphorylate the Ntr transcription factor NRI and thereby activate transcription from the nitrogen-regulated glnA promoter, and NRII can phosphorylate CheY. In addition, we find that a high intracellular concentration of a highly active mutant form of NRII can suppress the smooth-swimming phenotype of a cheA mutant. These results argue strongly that sensory transduction in the Ntr and Che systems involves a common protein phosphotransfer mechanism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
