چکیده

The enzyme system catalyzing this has been termed “glutamine synthetase” and for convenience this name will be used here. Ammonia in this reaction can be replaced by hydrasine or hydroxylamine, all three bases reacting at the same rate (4). All organic bases and amino acids tested have been found to be inactive. With hydroxylamine, a hydroxamic acid is produced, estimation of which provides a convenient colorimetric test for enzyme activity (5). More recently, the work of Schou et al. (6) and of Stumpf et al. (7-9) has revealed anot,her enzymic reaction leading to the formation of glutamylhydroxamic acid. The enzyme, which is known as glutamotransferase, catalyzes the exchange of the amide group of glutamine for either isotopic ammonia or hydroxylamine by the following reaction.

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...

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

The relationships of five feedback inhibitors for the Bacillus licheniformis glutamine synthetase were investigated. The inhibitors were distinguishable by differences in their competitive relationship for the substrates of the enzyme. Mixtures of l-glutamine and adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP) or histidine and AMP caused synergistic inhibition of glutamine synthesis. Histidine, alanine, and g...

Characterization of Glutamine Synthetase of Roots, Etiolated Cotyledons and Green Leaves from Sinapis alba (L.)

Glutamine synthetase of roots, etiolated cotyledons and green leaves from mustard plants cannot all clearly be separated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. However, the enzyme of the roots, etiolated cotyledons and green leaves, respectively, differed in the kinetic properties deter­ mined in the crude extract. The root enzyme showed a pH-optimum of about 6.9, a Km value of 3 m M for glutamate an...
