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.
大肠杆菌GlnB(PII)蛋白T环上的A49P和Delta47 - 53突变会损害与双组分传感器调节蛋白NtrB的调节相互作用(P. Jiang、P. Zucker、M. R. Atkinson、E. S. Kamberov、W. Tirasophon、P. Chandran、B. R. Schepke和A. J. Ninfa,《细菌学杂志》179: 4342 - 4353,1997年)。我们在此表明,这些突变在酵母双杂交系统中也会损害PII和NtrB之间的相互作用,这表明NtrB调节缺陷密切反映了结合受损。所报道的结果强调了双杂交分析在分析涉及PII蛋白T环的相互作用方面的优势。
