A novel GlnR target gene, nnaR, is involved in nitrate/nitrite assimilation in Streptomyces coelicolor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
GlnR is the global transcriptional regulator of nitrogen assimilation in Streptomyces coelicolor. Under nitrogen starvation, GlnR controls the transcription of at least nine genes associated with nitrogen metabolism. In this study, we identified a new GlnR target gene, SCO2958, named nnaR (nitrate/nitrite assimilation regulator). In silico analysis of NnaR revealed the presence of two distinct domains: an N-terminal uroporphyrinogen-III synthase (HemD)-like enzymatic domain and a C-terminal DNA binding domain. Complementation experiments with a haemin auxotroph Escherichia coli ΔhemD mutant strain revealed that NnaR has no HemD activity. Physiological studies of an S. coelicolor nnaR : : Tn5062 mutant showed that NnaR is involved in regulating nitrite reduction. By electrophoretic mobility shift assays the functionality of the NnaR DNA binding domain was confirmed, and it was found that NnaR binds in front of the genes narK (putative nitrate extrusion protein), nirB (nitrite reductase), nirA (putative nitrite/sulphite reductase) and nasA (putative nitrate reductase), which are associated with nitrate/nitrite assimilation. Furthermore, a cooperative binding of NnaR together with GlnR to the nirB promoter was observed, suggesting that NnaR may act as a GlnR co-activator.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
