The structure of PA5508 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a glutamine synthetase (GS) homologue, has been determined at 2.5 Å. Surprisingly, PA5508 forms single hexameric rings rather than the stacked double rings that are characteristic of GS. The C-terminal helical thong motif

Uridylyltransferase/uridylyl-removing enzyme (UTase/UR) catalyzes uridylylation of PII and deuridylylation of PII-UMP, with both activities regulated by glutamine. In a reconstituted UTase/UR-PII cycle containing wild-type UTase/UR, the steady-state modification of PII varied from nearly complete modification to nearly complete demodification as
