Native Escherichia coli L-Glutamine Synthetase
Glutamine synthetase (GS) (EC 6.3.1.2) is an enzyme that plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine:Glutamate + ATP + NH3 → Glutamine + ADP + phosphate. Glutamine Synthetase uses ammonia produced by Nitrate reduction, amino acid degradation, and photorespiration. The amide group of glutamate is a nitrogen source for the synthesis of glutamine pathway metabolites.
