Male proband with intractable seizures and a de novo start-codon-disrupting variant in GLUL
Summary: Bi-allelic variants in GLUL, encoding glutamine synthetase and responsible for the conversion of glutamate to glutamine, are associated with a severe recessive disease due to glutamine deficiency.

GLUL rs10911021 polymorphism and risk of coronary artery disease among Egyptian individuals [PDF]
Background Genome-wide association studies have identified novel genes related to coronary artery disease (CAD). These studies have been replicated in distinct ethnic populations, returning inconsistent results. Our work aimed to study the frequency of C

PHF8-GLUL axis in lipid deposition and tumor growth of clear cell renal cell carcinoma [PDF]
For clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), lipid deposition plays important roles in the development, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying lipid deposition in ccRCC remain largely unknown. By conducting an unbiased CRISPR-Cas9 screening, we identified the epigenetic regulator plant homeodomain ...

Immunohistochemical localisation of Glutamate ammonia ligase (GLUL) in cerebrum in different clinical forms of canine rabies [PDF]
Rabies, one of the earliest known diseases reported in the history of mankind, is a fatal acute viral disease of the central nervous system. Despite numerous studies on etiology of rabies, its exact mechanism of neuropathogenesis remains unidentified ...

Glutamine production by Glul promotes thermogenic adipocyte differentiation through Prdm9-mediated H3K4me3 and transcriptional reprogramming [PDF]
Thermogenic adipocytes have been extensively investigated because of their energy-dissipating property and therapeutic potential for obesity and diabetes. Besides serving as fuel sources, accumulating evidence suggests that intermediate metabolites play critical roles in multiple biological processes.

Hepatoblastoma: glutamine depletion hinders cell viability in the embryonal subtype but high GLUL expression is associated with better overall survival [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Glutamine plays an important role in cell viability and growth of various tumors. For the fetal subtype of hepatoblastoma, growth inhibition through glutamine depletion was shown. We studied glutamine depletion in embryonal cell lines of hepatoblastoma carrying different mutations.

A Novel Gain-of-Function GLUL Variant Is Associated With Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy With Enlarged Perivascular Spaces. [PDF]
Two clinical phenotypes are associated with GLUL mutations, from different inheritance mode. Recessive forms are associated with congenital glutamine deficiency, manifesting with severe brain malformation, multiorgan failure, and early death.

GLUL gene knockdown and restricted glucose level show synergistic inhibitory effect on the luminal subtype breast cancer MCF7 cells’ proliferation and metastasis [PDF]
The glutamine synthetase path is one of the most important metabolic pathways in luminal breast cancer cells, which plays a critical role in supplying glutamine as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of amino acids and nucleotides.

GLUL mediates FOXO3 O-GlcNAcylation to regulate the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and senile osteoporosis. [PDF]
Abstract The abnormal osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is an important cause of senile osteoporosis (SOP). Glutamine synthetase (GLUL) is a key enzyme in glutamine biosynthesis; however, its functional role in SOP remains unclear.
