In Klebsiella aerogenes but not in Salmonella typhimurium glutamine synthetase can function during nitrogen-limited growth to increase the rate of synthesis of histidase from the hut genes of S. typhimurium 15-59 (hutS. 15-59). Formation of proline oxidase is also not increased in nitrogen-limited cultures of S. typhimurium. However, in hybrid strains of Escherichia coli or K. aerogenes, the glutamine synthetase of S. typhimurium activates synthesis of histidase from the hutS. 15-59 genes. Apparently, glutamine synthetase is necessary but not sufficient for activation of transcription of the hut genes; another factor must also be present. This factor is active in both K. aerogenes and E. coli but is missing or altered in S. typhimurium.
