Nitrogen regulation system of Klebsiella aerogenes: the nac gene

In Klebsiella aerogenes, the product of a his-linked gene, nac, appears to play a crucial role in tying the synthesis of enzymes activated or repressed by ammonia deprivation, such as histidase and glutamate dehydrogenase, to the known regulators of nitrogen assimilation, the products of glnG and glnF.
