Identification
Name:Nitrate/nitrite sensor protein narQ
Synonyms:Not Available
Gene Name:narQ
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Signal transduction mechanisms
Specific Function:Acts as a sensor for nitrate/nitrite and transduces signal of nitrate/nitrite availability to the narL/narP proteins. NarQ probably activates narL and narP by phosphorylation. NarQ probably negatively regulates the narL protein by dephosphorylation
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
