Description
NifA protein is nitrogen senitive and regulates transcription of nif genes. When there isn't enough fixed nitrogen available for the organism's use, NifA is expressed, and NifA activates the rest of the nif genes. If there is a sufficient amount of reduced nitrogen or oxygen is present, another protein is activated: NifL. NifL inhibits the action of NifA and results in inhibition of nitrogenase formation.
Notes
NifA transcription factor corresponds with NifRLA promoter.
Source
This sequence comes from the genome of Azotobacter vinelandii, specifically the nif cluster.
