1.9.6.1 down disruption of nasT leads to a marked decrease in nosZ and nap transcription in cells incubated in the presence of nitrate -, 742380 1.9.6.1 down NarL represses the expression of periplasmic nitrate reductase NapAB under anaerobiosis 711653 1.9.6.1 up in the absence of nitrate, mutated nasS, which encodes the nitrate (NO3-)-sensor of the two-component NasST regulatory system, induces expression of nosZ and periplasmic nitrate reductase nap via nasT. Nitrate addition dissociates the NasS-NasT complex in vitro, suggesting the release of the activator NasT -, 742380
