FunctionIn nitrogen-limiting conditions, when the ratio of GLN to 2-ketoglutarate decreases, P-II is uridylylated to P-II-UMP by GLND|Rv2918c. P-II-UMP allows the deadenylylation of glutamine synthetase (gs), thus activating the enzyme. Converserly, in nitrogen excess P-II is deuridylated and promotes the adenylation of gs. P-II indirectly controls the transcription of the gs gene (GLNA: four copies in the genome). P-II prevents NR-II catalyzed conversion of NR-I to NR-I-phosphate, the transcriptional activator of GLNA. When P-II is uridylylated to P-II-UMP, these events are reversed.
ProductProbable nitrogen regulatory protein P-II GlnB
CommentsRv2919c, (MTCY338.08c), len: 112 aa.

ProteomicsIdentified in the membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 1D-SDS-PAGE and uLC-MS/MS (See Gu et al., 2003). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantNon-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Required for survival in primary murine macrophages, by transposon site hybridization (TraSH) in H37Rv (See Rengarajan et al., 2005). Non-essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
