FunFam 15204: Glutamate synthase, small subunit domain protein

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Glutamate synthase (NADPH). [EC: 1.4.1.13]
2 L-glutamate + NADP(+) = L-glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH.
  • The reaction takes place in the opposite direction.
  • The protein is composed of two subunits, alpha and beta.
  • The alpha subunit is composed of two domains, one hydrolyzing L-glutamine to NH(3) and L-glutamate (cf. EC 3.5.1.2), the other combining the produced NH(3) with 2-oxoglutarate to produce a second molecule of L-glutamate (cf. EC 1.4.1.4).
  • The beta subunit transfers electrons to the cosubstrate.
  • The NH(3) is channeled through a 31 A channel in the active protein.
  • In the absence of the beta subunit, coupling between the two domains of the alpha subunit is compromised and some ammonium can be produced.
  • In the intact alpha-beta complex, ammonia production only takes place as part of the overall reaction.
  • Formerly EC 2.6.1.53.
