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, in vitro phosphorylated by PrkC on Thr-26, Thr-147, Ser-207, and Thr-286 PubMed
  • Cofactor(s): Mg(2+)
  • Effectors of protein activity: feedback inhibition by glutamine, glutamine binds the entrance site for glutamate
