Abstract: | Summary Glutamine synthetase I was purified fromRhizobium sp. UMKL 20 following polyethylene glycol precipitation. The enzyme had a subunit molecular weight of 58 kd. Apparent Km values for ammonia and glutamate were 5.6 and 15.2 mM, respectively. Glutamine synthetase I activity was inhibited by several end products of glutamine metabolism. The purified enzyme was highly adenylylated (En–=8.5).Acknowledgment. I would like to thank Mr J. C. Lai for technical assistance. This work was carried out with the support of Vote F 153/79 from the University of Malaya. |
