Re-investigation of the effects of L-glutamine and L-asparagine on the Neurospora crassa NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
L-Glutamine, when purified free of traces of NH4+ present in solution, does not act as an alternative substrate to NH4+ for the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora. L-Glutamine interferes with detection of small quantities of NH4+ by Nessler's reagent. L-Asparagine is not an alternative substrate to NH4+ for this enzyme.

Partial amino-acid sequence of NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of Neurospora crassa.
Parts of the primary structure of the NAD-specific glutamate dehydrogenase [L-glutamate:NAD oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.2] from Neurospora crassa are presented. Segments of the sequence representing 886 unique amino-acid residues have been determined; the largest contains 267 residues. There are only short regions of possible homology between this enzyme and the glutamate dehydrogena...

1. Aspergillus nidulans, Neurospora crassa and Escherichia coli were grown on media containing a range of concentrations of nitrate, or ammonia, or urea, or l-glutamate, or l-glutamine as the sole source of nitrogen and the glutamate dehydrogenate and glutamine synthetase of the cells measured. 2. Aspergillus, Neurospora and Escherichia coli cells, grown on l-glutamate or on high concentrations...

A tentative primary structure of the NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase [L-glutamate: NADP oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.1.4] from Neurospora crassa has been determined. The proposed sequence contains 452 amino-acid residues in each of the identical subunits of the hexameric enzyme. Comparison of the sequence with that of the bovine liver enzyme reveals considerable homology in the am...
متن کاملPreliminary Report of NAD+-Dependent Amino Acid Dehydrogenase Producing Bacteria Isolated from Soil
Amino acid dehydrogenases (L-amino acid: oxidoreductase deaminating EC 1.4.1.X) are members of the wider superfamily of oxidoreductases that catalyze the reversible oxidative deamination of an amino acid to its keto acid and ammonia with the concomitant reduction of either NAD+, NADP+ or FAD. These enzymes have been received much attention as biocatalysts for use in biosensors or diagnostic kit...

A glycine-resistant Neurospora crassa mutant (am-132;glyr), derived from the am-132 mutant, was isolated and characterized. [am-132 itself has a deletion in the structural gene for NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH).] This new mutation also conferred resistance to serine and methionine sulphoximine (MS), which are inhibitors of glutamine synthetase (GS). In addition, the mutant obtain...
