Summary Introduction
Post-translational modification is occurred after the complete synthesis of protein. The covalent modifications occur by the uridylylation, adenylylation, and phosphorylation. It alters the activity of the proteins that results in the regulation of an enzyme. PII is a signal transducing proteins, it is modified by the uridylylation of GlnD. The GlnD is a bifunctional enzyme that has both uridyl-removal activity and uridyltransferase activity based on the presence of glutamine. It controls the signal for the nitrogen assimilation.
