Nitrate- and Nitrite-Sensing Histidine Kinases: Function, Structure, and Natural Diversity

Nitrate- and Nitrite-Sensing Histidine Kinases: Function, Structure, and Natural Diversity

Under anaerobic conditions, bacteria may utilize nitrates and nitrites as electron acceptors. Sensitivity to nitrous compounds is achieved via several mechanisms, some of which rely on sensor histidine kinases (HKs). The best studied nitrate- and nitrite-sensing HKs (NSHKs) are NarQ and NarX from &l...
