Abstract
  • The small GstI protein (63 amino acids) of Rhizobium leguminosarum inhibits the expression of the glnII (glutamine synthetase II) gene, thus reducing the bacterial ability to assimilate ammonium. In order to identify the residues essential for its inhibitory activity, all the 53 non-alanine amino acid residues of GstI were individually mutated into alanine. Based on their capacity to inhibit glnII expression (in two genetic backgrounds) three groups of mutants were identified. The first group displayed an inhibitory activity similar to the wild-type; the second and the third ones showed partial and total loss of inhibitory activity, respectively. Several mutations of the latter group concerned residues conserved in two related sequences from Sinorhizobium meliloti and Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Additionally, we performed experiments to exclude a GstI-mediated mechanism of glutamine synthetase II inhibition/degradation. Finally, the protein was over expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and characterised. (literal)
