Abstract

Glutamine synthetase is encoded by the glnA gene of Escherichia coli and catalyzes the formation of glutamine from ATP, glutamate, and ammonia. A 1922-base pair fragment from a cDNA containing the glnA structural gene for E. coli glutamine synthetase has been sequenced. An open reading frame of 1404 base pairs encodes a protein of 468 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular weight of 51,814. With few exceptions, the amino acid sequence deduced from the DNA sequence agreed very well with the amino acid sequences of several peptides reported previously. The secondary structure predicted for the E. coli enzyme has approximately 36% of the residues in alpha-helices which is in agreement with calculations of approximately 39% based on optical rotatory dispersion data. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of glutamine synthetase from E. coli (468 amino acids) and Anabaena (473 amino acids) (Turner, N. E., Robinson, S. T., and Haselkorn, R. (1983) Nature 306, 337-342) indicates that 260 amino acids are identical and 80 are of the same type (polar or nonpolar) when aligned for maximum homology. Several homologous regions of these two enzymes exist, including the sites of adenylylation and oxidative modification, but the regulation of each enzyme is different.
