General description
Application
L-Glutamine synthetase may be used for the purification of proteases from Escherichia coli.
Biochem/physiol Actions
L-glutamine synthetase catalyzes the condensation of L-glutamate and ammonia to L-glutamine. It is a degradative enzyme for glutamic acid.
Nitrogen starvation dictates the expression of the glutamine synthetase (GS) gene in E. coli. GS plays a key role in ammonia assimilation in bacteria. Adenylylation of GS is catalyzed by adenylyltransferase. Adenylylation of GS modulates its catalytic functionality resulting in glutamine limitation in E coli.
Degradative enzyme for glutamic acid
