The gene

Basic information

  • Locus tag: BSU37790

Phenotypes of a mutant

Poor growth on complex media such as SP (sporulation medium). No growth in minimal media with arginine as the only carbon source. Rapid accumulation of suppressor mutants (gudB1)

Database entries

  • DBTBS entry: [1]
  • SubtiList entry: [2]

Additional information

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

  • Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: L-glutamate + H2O + NAD+ = 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 + NADH (according to Swiss-Prot) L-glutamate + H(2)O + NAD(+) = 2-oxoglutarate + NH(3) + NADH, controls the activity of the GltC transcription activator PubMed
  • Protein family: Glu/Leu/Phe/Val dehydrogenases family (according to Swiss-Prot) Glu/Leu/Phe/Val dehydrogenases family
  • Paralogous protein(s): GudB

Extended information on the protein

  • Kinetic information:
  • Domains:
  • Modification:
  • Cofactor(s):
  • Effectors of protein activity:
  • Interactions: RocG-GltC, this interaction prevents transcription activation of the gltA-gltB operon by GltC PubMed
  • Localization:

Database entries

  • Structure:
  • KEGG entry: [3]

Additional information

Expression and regulation

  • Operon: rocG
  • Regulation: induced by arginine (RocR, AhrC), ornithine or proline, subject to carbon catabolite repression (CcpA)
  • Regulatory mechanism: RocR: transcription activation PubMedPubMed; AhrC: transcription activation ; CcpA: transcription repression
  • Additional information:

Activation by RocR requires binding of RocG to a downstream element PubMed

Biological materials

  • Mutant: GP747 (spc), GP726 (aphA3), GP810 (tet) available in Stülke lab
