The role of glutaminase in cancer [PDF]

open access: yesHistopathology, 2020
Increased glutamine metabolism (glutaminolysis) is a hallmark of cancer and is recognised as a key metabolic change in cancer cells. Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different morphological and molecular subtypes and responses to therapy, and breast cancer cells are known to rewire glutamine metabolism to support survival and proliferation.

Glutaminases

2016
Mammalian glutaminases catalyze the stoichiometric conversion of L-glutamine to L-glutamate and ammonium ions. In brain, glutaminase is considered the prevailing pathway for synthesis of the neurotransmitter pool of glutamate. Besides neurotransmission, the products of glutaminase reaction also fulfill crucial roles in energy and metabolic homeostasis ...

Tumor Glutaminase Purification

Protein Expression and Purification, 1995
Two alternative purification schemes to obtain the glutaminase from Ehrlich tumor cells in a highly purified form have been developed. One experimental approach is based on conventional and high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation techniques, yielding a 37-fold higher purification than has been previously reported.

Glutaminase in human platelets

Clinica Chimica Acta, 1983
Summary The activity of phosphate activated glutaminase, which is the major enzyme yielding glutamate from glutamine has been measured in human blood platelets. The enzyme shows good reproducibility in split duplicate assays and is stable over time. Platelets retain more enzyme activity when stored at 4°C in a buffered medium than when stored frozen.

MODULATORS OF GLUTAMINASE ACTIVITY

Journal of Neurochemistry, 1972
Abstract— The activating effect of GTP on particulate preparations of glutaminase from rat brain or rat kidney was competitively inhibited by cyclic guanosine 3′,5′‐monophosphate (c‐GMP). Similarly, the effect of ATP was inhibited by cyclic adenosine 3′,5′‐monophosphate (c‐AMP). In the absence of an added activator, the glutaminase activity of brain or

Mammalian glutaminase isozymes in brain

Metabolic Brain Disease, 2012
Glutamine/glutamate homeostasis must be exquisitely regulated in mammalian brain and glutaminase (GA, E.C. 3.5.1.2) is one of the main enzymes involved. The products of GA reaction, glutamate and ammonia, are essential metabolites for energy and biosynthetic purposes but they are also hazardous compounds at concentrations beyond their normal ...

Hormonal control of hepatic glutaminase

Advances in Enzyme Regulation, 1995
(1) Glucagon activates hepatic glutaminase in vivo. Mitochondria from glucagon-injected rats retain an enhanced capacity to catabolize glutamine and this is more sensitive to activation by inorganic phosphate. The glucagon-elicited stimulation of glutaminase is not evident in broken mitochondria.
