Glutamate dehydrogenase: genetic mapping and isolation of regulatory mutants of Klebsiella aerogenes.
The gene for glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhD) has been mapped in Klebsiella aerogenes by P1 transduction. It is linked to pyrF and trp with the order pyrF-trp-gdh. Complementation analysis using F' episomes from Escherichia coli suggests an analogous location in E. coli. Two mutants able to produce glutamate dehydrogenase in the presence of high levels of glutamine synthetase have been isolated. ...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition caused by overexpression of the structural gene for glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhA) from Klebsiella aerogenes.
Two linked mutations affecting glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) formation (gdh-1 and rev-2) had been isolated at a locus near the trp cluster in Klebsiella aerogenes. The properties of these two mutations were consistent with those of a locus containing either a regulatory gene or a structural gene. The gdhA gene from K. aerogenes was cloned and sequenced, and an insertion mutation was generated a...
متن کاملRepression of glutamate dehydrogenase formation in Klebsiella aerogenes requires two binding sites for the nitrogen assimilation control protein, NAC.
In Klebsiella aerogenes, the gdhA gene codes for glutamate dehydrogenase, one of the enzymes responsible for assimilating ammonia into glutamate. Expression of a gdhAp-lacZ transcriptional fusion was strongly repressed by the nitrogen assimilation control protein, NAC. This strong repression (>50-fold under conditions of severe nitrogen limitation) required the presence of two separate NAC bind...
متن کاملRoles of glutamate synthase, gltBD, and gltF in nitrogen metabolism of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella aerogenes.
Mutants of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella aerogenes that are deficient in glutamate synthase (glutamate-oxoglutarate amidotransferase [GOGAT]) activity have difficulty growing with nitrogen sources other than ammonia. Two models have been proposed to account for this inability to grow. One model postulated an imbalance between glutamine synthesis and glutamine degradation that led to a repress...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive glutamate dehydrogenase mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.
Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium defective in glutamate dehydrogenase activity were isolated in parent strains lacking glutamate synthase activity by localizcd mutagenesis or by a general mutagenesis combined with a cycloserine enrichment for glutamate auxotrophs. Two mutants with temperature-sensitive phenotypes had glutamate dehydrogenase activities that were more thermolabile than that of a...
