Regulation of glutamine synthetase. VI. Interactions of inhibitors for Bacillus licheniformis glutamine synthetase.

Regulation of glutamine synthetase. V. Partial purification and properties of glutamine synthetase from Bacillus licheniformis.

The glutamine synthetase of Bacillus licheniformis has been obtained at about 15% purity. Sucrose gradient centrifugation gave a molecular weight value of approximately 612,000. Both l- and d-glutamate can be utilized as substrates in the biosynthetic reaction, although the l isomer was five times more active. The requirement for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be partially replaced by guanosi...

Biochemical and molecular analysis of glutamine synthetase gene in brassica napus L.

Regulation of glutamine synthetase. II. Patterns of feedback inhibition in microorganisms.

The feedback inhibition of glutamine synthetase was investigated by use of partially purified enzyme preparations from Salmonella typhimurium, Micrococcus sodonensis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus licheniformis, Clostridium pasteurianum, Rhodospirillum rubrum, Neurospora crassa, Candida utilis, and Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Inhibition analyses indicated that the enzyme of each...

Regulation of glutamine synthetase from Bacillus subtilis by divalent cations, feedback inhibitors, and L-glutamine.

Glutamine synthetase purified to apparent homogeneity from Bacillus subtilis is subject to feedback inhibition by multiple end products of glutamine metabolism, as well as by the reaction product L-glutamine. AMP, glutamine, and histidine are potent inhibitors when any of the substrates glutamate, MnATP, or ammonia are present in limiting concentration during assay, but the strong inhibition by...

Regulation of glutamine synthetase activity of hepatoma tissue culture cells by glutamine and dexamethasone.

Regulation of glutamine synthetase activity was studied in a glutamine-independent subclone of the hepatoma tissue culture cell line. In cells of this subclone glutamine synthetase activity was elevated by the synthetic corticosteroid hormone, dexamethasone, and depressed by glutamine. The increase in glutamine synthetase activity due to the addition of dexamethasone and that due to removal of ...
