Feedback inhibition of AMT1 NH4 +-transporters mediated by CIPK15 kinase

Abstract Background Ammonium (NH4 +), a key nitrogen form, becomes toxic when it accumulates to high levels. Ammonium transporters (AMTs) are the key transporters responsible for NH4 + uptake. AMT activity is under allosteric feedback control, mediated by phosphorylation of a threonine in the cytoso...
