Chloroplastic glutamine synthetase from Brassica napus.
In higher plants, the GS/glutamate synthase cycle provides the only efficient pathway for the conversion of inorganic nitrogen to the organic form (Stewart et al., 1980). In this connection, GS catalyzes the ATP-dependent condensation of ammonia with glutamate to yield Gln. Ammonia, the ultimate inorganic form of nitrogen available to the plant, is released by a variety of physiological process...

متن کاملChloroplastic glutamine synthetase is activated by direct binding of aluminium.
Acidification of soils may release water soluble, toxic aluminium species from clay minerals. Al interferes with a wide range of physical and cellular processes. Glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) is the key enzyme of primary N assimilation, as well as ammonia reassimilation and detoxification. Plant GS requires two magnesium ions per subunit for activity, which makes GS a potential target o...
متن کاملCoproporphyrinogenase in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.).
1. Coproporphyrinogenase was extracted and purified from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Enzyme activity was mainly located in mitochondria rather than in chloroplasts. The enzyme was purified by differential centrifugation, ammonium sulphate fractionation, calcium phosphate gel adsorption and dialysis. A 69-fold final purification was obtained. 2. An apparent K(m) value of 3.6x10(-5)m was foun...
متن کاملAcylated Steryl Glycoside Synthesis in Seedlings of Nicotiana tabacum L.
In tobacco seedlings (Nicotiana tabacum L.), glucose from supplied uridine diphosphate-[U-(14)C]glucose was first incorporated into steryl glycosides and later into acylated steryl glycosides. However, when [(14)C]cholesterol was used as substrate, the acylated steryl glycosides became labeled earlier than the steryl glycosides. With [(14)C]cholesteryl glucoside as substrate, most of the radioa...
