Gene
Coordinates
2,010,070  2,014,632
Phenotypes of a mutant
auxotrophic for glutamate PubMed, can be bypassed by inactivation of citG and ansR (as a result of ansA-ansB derepression)PubMed
The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
2 L-glutamate + NADP+ --> 2-oxoglutarate + H+ + L-glutamine + NADPH (according to UniProt)
binding to GudB to inhibit glutamate degradation in the absence of glutamate PubMed
Protein family
glutamate synthase family (with YerD and GltB, according to UniProt)
Domains
Glutamine amidotransferase type-2 domain (aa 22-415) (according to UniProt)
Nucleotide binding domain (1060-1112)
Cofactors
one 3Fe-4S cluster PubMed
FMN PubMed
Structure
7MFT (PDB) (the GudB6-(GltA-GltB)6 complex) PubMed
2VDC (PDB) (the GltA-GltB complex of Azospirillum brasiliense) PubMed, note that the B. subtilis protein is unable to form dimers, thus GltA-GltB exists as a heterodimer PubMed
P39812 (AlphaFold)
Modification
phosphorylated on Arg-904 AND/OR Arg-914 PubMed
Paralogous protein(s)
YerD
Localization
membrane associated PubMed, cytoplasm (according to UniProt)
Additional information
subject to Clp-dependent proteolysis upon glucose starvation PubMed
translation is likely to require Efp due to the presence of several consecutive proline residues PubMed
