Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of nitrogen utilization. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of nitrogen utilization. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. A series of processes that forms an integrated mechanism by which a cell or an organism detects the depletion of primary nitrogen source, usually ammonia, and then activates genes to scavenge the last traces of the primary nitrogen source and to transport and metabolize alternative nitrogen sources. The utilization process begins when the cell or organism detects nitrogen levels, includes the activation of genes whose products detect, transport or metabolize nitrogen-containing substances, and ends when nitrogen is incorporated into the cell or organism's metabolism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of any biological process, quality or function. Any process involving nitrogen catabolites that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of nitrogen utilization.
