The gene
Basic information
- Coordinates:
Phenotypes of a mutant
auxotrophic for glutamine
Database entries
- DBTBS entry: [1]
- SubtiList entry: [2]
Additional information
The protein
Basic information/ Evolution
- Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: ATP + L-glutamate + NH3 = ADP + phosphate + L-glutamine (according to Swiss-Prot)
- Protein family: glutamine synthetase family (according to Swiss-Prot)
- Paralogous protein(s):
Extended information on the protein
- Kinetic information: K(M) for: Glu: 27 mM, ATP: 2.4 mM, ammonium: 0.18 mM; v(max): 3.7 µmol/min/mg
- Domains: glutamate binding flap (aa 300 ... 306: protects unstable intermediates from abberant hydrolysis)
- Modification: phosphorylated on ser/ thr/ tyr PubMed
- Cofactor(s): Mg(2+)
- Effectors of protein activity: feedback inhibition by glutamine, glutamine binds thhe entrance site for glutamate
- Interactions: TnrA-GlnA, GlnR-GlnA, (only the feedback-inhibited enzyme interacts with TnrA and GlnR)
- Localization: cytoplasm (according to Swiss-Prot)
Database entries
- Structure:
