Immunochemical comparison of glutamine synthetases from some solanaceae plants.
The presence of different glutamine synthetase isoenzymes in different Solanaceae plants and their relative antigenicities against antiglutamine synthetase from tomato leaf serum were studied. All the plants tested showed one glutamine synthetase isoenzyme except for Mandragora autumnalis, which showed two, after discontinuous polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and specific in situ assay. Antig...
متن کاملEnzymatic Synthesis of Glutamine in Higher Plants.
The synthesis of glutamine has been studied extensively with enzyme preparations from animal tissues and from bacteria (1, 2, 3, 9, 10). These studies have shown that in such organisms, glutamine may be formed directly from glutamic acid and ammonia, the energy for the synthesis being supplied as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Little is known, however, of the occurrence or characteristics of sim...
متن کاملGlutamine Synthetases of Higher Plants : Evidence for a Specific Isoform Content Related to Their Possible Physiological Role and Their Compartmentation within the Leaf.
The chromatographic properties of glutamine synthetase isoforms have been investigated in a wide range of higher plant leaves and shoots using ion exchange chromatography. Different patterns of glutamine synthetase isoform content were observed. Among higher plants, four patterns or groups could be recognized. The first group is characterized by having only cytosolic glutamine synthetase, where...
متن کاملInactivation of glutamine synthetases by an NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase.
Glutamine synthetase from ovine brain has a critical arginine residue at the catalytic site (Powers, S. G., and Riordan, J.F. (1975) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. A. 72, 2616-2620). This enzyme is now shown to be a substrate for a purified NAD:arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase from turkey erythrocyte cytosol that catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD to arginine and purified proteins. The t...
متن کاملThe glutamine synthetases of rhizobia: phylogenetics and evolutionary implications.
Glutamine synthetase exists in at least two related forms, GSI and GSII, the sequences of which have been used in evolutionary molecular clock studies. GSI has so far been found exclusively in bacteria, and GSII has been found predominantly in eukaryotes. To date, only a minority of bacteria, including rhizobia, have been shown to express both forms of GS. The sequences of equivalent internal f...
