The Rhizobium GstI Protein Reduces the NH4+ Assimilation Capacity of Rhizobium leguminosarum
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001 We show that the protein encoded by the glutamine synthetase translational inhibitor (gstI) gene reduces the NH4+ assimilation capacity of Rhizobium leguminosarum.

Glutamine metabolism in the proliferation of GS-expression pituitary tumor cells
Endocrine Connections, 2020 Objective: Many cancer cells cannot survive without exogenous glutamine (Gln); however, cancer cells expressing glutamine synthetase (GS) do not have this restriction.

Molecular mechanisms of adaptation of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillis halophilus to its environment [PDF]
, 2013 The capability of osmoadaptation is a prerequisite of organisms that live in an environment with changing salinities. Halobacillus halophilus is a moderately halophilic bacterium that grows between 0.4 and 3 M NaCl by accumulating both chloride and ...

The intracellular location of nitrogen metabolism enzymes in Pisum arvense L. roots
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 The time course changes of nitrate assimilation enzymes and their distribution has been studied in Pisum arvense roots. The results indicate that nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.2) and glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) are present in the soluble fraction ...

Abnormalities in Glutamate Metabolism and Excitotoxicity in the Retinal Diseases
Scientifica, 2013 In the physiological condition, glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter in the retina. However, excessive glutamate can be toxic to retinal neurons by overstimulation of the glutamate receptors.

Effect of chilling and acclimation on the activity of glutamine synthetase isoforms in maize seedlings [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007 Effects of chilling and acclimation on the activity of cytosolic (GS1) and plastidic (GS2) isoforms of glutamine synthetase (E.C. 6.3.1.2) were studied in chilling-sensitive and acclimation-responsive maize inbred G50.
