Abstract: 
P-II signalling proteins are pivotal players in almost all aspects of nitrogen regulation in bacteria. The P-II signal transduction system in cyanobacteria displays some profound differences compared to the P-II signalling systems of other bacteria characterised so far. This review summarises the advances in functional and mechanistic insights in P-II signal perception and transduction in unicellular cyanobacteria. A model is proposed which provides a rational basis for the observed synergy between the effector molecules ATP and 2-oxoglutarate in controlling the phosphorylation state of P-II. The function of P-II in global nitrogen control of cyanobacteria is discussed in the view of novel results.
