Underlying mechanisms of phosphodiesterase 10A and glutamate-ammonia ligase genes that regulate inosine monophosphate deposition and thereby affect muscle tenderness in Jingyuan chickens [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2022 Objective Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is a key factor that imparts of meat flavor. Differences in the IMP content in the muscles were evaluated to improve chicken meat quality.

Immunohistochemical localisation of Glutamate ammonia ligase (GLUL) in cerebrum in different clinical forms of canine rabies [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2023 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 ...

Binding of nickel to testicular glutamate-ammonia ligase inhibits its enzymatic activity. [PDF]
Mol Reprod Dev, 2011 Exposure to nickel has been shown to cause damage to the testis in several animal models. It is not known if the testis expresses protein(s) that can bind nickel. To test this, we used a nickel-binding assay to isolate testicular nickel-binding proteins.

Neoplasma, 2020 Glutamine addiction is a major feature of glioma cells and plays an important role in its growth and proliferation. GLUL (glutamate-ammonia ligase), which catalyzes glutamate and ammonia to synthesize glutamine, plays a crucial role in tumor growth and proliferation.

C-Terminal Part of Glutamate-Ammonia-Ligase Adenyltransferase Gene Identified by RAPD-HRM with 3H Primer for E. Coli Screening [PDF]
Folia Biologica, 2019 A single random oligonucleotide 3H primer has been previously applied in random-amplified- polymorphic-DNA (RAPD)-PCR to distinguish stocked bacteria E. coli within a cocktail mixture also containing Enterococcus faecalis, Bifidobacterium longum and Ruminococcus gnavus.

Glutamate-ammonia ligase promotes lung cancer cell growth through an enzyme-independent upregulation of CaMK2G under a glutamine-sufficient condition [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2019 SUMMARYGlutamate-ammonia ligase (GLUL) is highly expressed in many cancer cells. Synthesizing glutamine by its enzyme function has been found to be important for supporting cancer cell survival and growth under glutamine restriction. However, GLUL’s functions under a glutamine-sufficient condition still have not been uncovered.

Aberrant expression and distribution of enzymes of the urea cycle and other ammonia metabolizing pathways in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The detoxification of ammonia occurs mainly through conversion of ammonia to urea in the liver via the urea cycle and glutamine synthesis. Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) in dogs cause hyperammonemia eventually leading to hepatic encephalopathy ...

Novel Glutamate–Putrescine Ligase Activity in Haloferax mediterranei: A New Function for glnA-2 Gene
Biomolecules, 2021 The genome of the halophilic archaea Haloferax mediterranei contains three ORFs that show homology with glutamine synthetase (GS) (glnA-1, glnA-2, and glnA-3).

Astroglial Glutamine Synthetase and the Pathogenesis of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 The enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS), also referred to as glutamate ammonia ligase, is abundant in astrocytes and catalyzes the conversion of ammonia and glutamate to glutamine.

Biomolecules, 2016 Glutamate is present in the brain at an average concentration—typically 10–12 mM—far in excess of those of other amino acids. In glutamate-containing vesicles in the brain, the concentration of glutamate may even exceed 100 mM. Yet because glutamate is a
