Abstract
Work at the John Innes Centre will focus on NH4+ transport proteins in bacteria, notably in Escherichia coli as a model system and in Rhizobium etli where such proteins may be involved in the establishment and functioning of the Rhizobium:legume symbiosis. Bacterial systems will be used to investigate structure/function relationships in this novel class of transport proteins with the intention of developing rational approaches to genetic modification of the transport properties. Information derived from prokaryotic studies will then be applied to manipulation of the plant proteins.
