Function
PTSO_ECOLI Component of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent nitrogen-metabolic phosphotransferase system (nitrogen-metabolic PTS), that seems to be involved in regulating nitrogen metabolism. The phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is transferred to the phosphoryl carrier protein NPr by enzyme I-Ntr. Phospho-NPr then transfers it to EIIA-Ntr. Could function in the transcriptional regulation of sigma-54 dependent operons in conjunction with the NPr (PtsO) and EIIA-Ntr (PtsN) proteins.
