Description
|
Glutamine synthetase (GLN or GS) is one of the key enzymes involved innitrogen metabolism of plants. It catalyses the synthesis of glutamine fromglutamate and ammonia in an ATP-dependent reaction. There are two generalclasses of glutamine synthetase in plants: GLN1, a cytosolic form and GLN2, achloroplastic form. GLN1 is highly abundant in the vascular elements of rootsnodules, flowers and fruits, functioning in the assimilation of ammonium and thebiosynthesis of glutamine for nitrogen transport. GLN2 is encoded by a singlegene and is highly abundant in leaf mesophyll chloroplasts. Here GLN functions inthe assimilation of ammonia produced from photorespiration and the reduction ofnitrate in the chloroplasts
