Regulation of synthesis of glutamine synthetase by adenylylated glutamine synthetase.
We have examined three mutants of Klebsiella aerogenes whose genetic lesions (glnB, glnD, and glnE) are in loci unlinked to the structural gene for glutamine sythetase (glnA) and in which the control of both the level and state of adenylylation of glutamine synthetase is altered. Each mutation alters a different component of the adenylylation system of glutamine synthetase [L-glutamate:ammonia ...
متن کاملReconstitution of Escherichia coli Glutamine Synthetase Adenylyltransferase from N-Terminal and C-Terminal Fragments of the Enzyme†
ATase brings about the short-term regulation of glutamine synthetase (GS) by catalyzing the adenylylation and deadenylylation of GS in response to signals of cellular nitrogen status and energy. The adenylyltransferase (AT) activity of ATase is activated by glutamine and by the unmodified form of the PII signal transduction protein and is inhibited by PII-UMP. Conversely, the adenylyl-removing ...
متن کاملRegulation of rice NADPH oxidase by binding of Rac GTPase to its N-terminal extension.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by NADPH oxidase play critical roles in various cellular activities, including plant innate immunity response. In contrast with the large multiprotein NADPH oxidase complex of phagocytes, in plants, only the homologs of the catalytic subunit gp91phox and the cytosolic regulator small GTPase Rac are found. Plant homologs of the gp91phox subunit are known as...
متن کاملGlutamine synthetase inactivation by protein-protein interaction.
Glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) is the pivotal enzyme of nitrogen metabolism in prokaryotes. Control of bacterial GS activity by reversible adenylylation has provided one of the classical paradigms of signal transduction by cyclic cascades. By contrast, in the present work we show that cyanobacterial GS is controlled by a different mechanism that involves the interaction of two inhibitory...
متن کاملA Nested-Splicing by Overlap Extension PCR Improves Specificity of this Standard Method
Background: Splicing by overlap extension (SOE) PCR is used to create mutation in the coding sequence of an enzyme in order to study the role of specific residues in protein’s structure and function. Objectives: We introduced a nested-SOE-PCR (N –SOE-PCR) in order to increase the specificity and generating mutations in a gene by SOE-PCR. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA from Bacillus thermo...
