UniProt functional annotation for Q05755

UniProt code: Q05755.

Organism: Azospirillum brasilense.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhodospirillales; Rhodospirillaceae; Azospirillum.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=2 L-glutamate + NADP(+) = 2-oxoglutarate + H(+) + L-glutamine + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15501, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16810, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349, ChEBI:CHEBI:58359; EC=1.4.1.13;
Cofactor: Name=[3Fe-4S] cluster; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:21137; Note=Binds 1 [3Fe-4S] cluster.;
Cofactor: Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692;
Cofactor: Name=FMN; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:58210;
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-glutamate biosynthesis via GLT pathway; L-glutamate from 2-oxoglutarate and L-glutamine (NADP(+) route): step 1/1.
Pathway: Energy metabolism; nitrogen metabolism.
Subunit: Aggregate of 4 catalytic active heterodimers, consisting of a large and a small subunit.
Miscellaneous: Glutamine binds to the large subunit and transfers the amido group to 2-oxo-glutamate that apparently binds to the small subunit.
Similarity: Belongs to the glutamate synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
