<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title> <jats:p> Cyanophycin (multi- <jats:sc>l</jats:sc> -arginyl-poly- <jats:sc>l</jats:sc> -aspartic acid) is a nitrogen storage polymer found in most cyanobacteria and some heterotrophic bacteria. The cyanobacterium <jats:italic>Synechocystis</jats:italic> sp. strain PCC 6803 accumulates cyanophycin following a transition from nitrogen-limited to nitrogen-excess conditions. Here we show that the accumulation of cyanophycin depends on the activation of the key enzyme of arginine biosynthesis, <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> -acetyl- <jats:sc>l</jats:sc> -glutamate kinase, by signal transduction protein P <jats:sub>II</jats:sub> . </jats:p>
