Prokaryotic Glutamine Synthetase is a dodecamer, comprised of 12 identical polypeptide chains, organized as a dimer of two disk like hexamers. Each protomer contains 2 Pfam domains, the Beta Grasp domain and the catalytic domain, preceded by meanders of a few resides in length which link the protomers together in the dodecamers core.

Beta Grasp domain

The beta grasp domain is the N-terminal domain, extending from residues 13-94. This domain is responsible for binding ATP, Glutamate, and Ammonia. ATP binds first, activating the site for binding glutamate.


Catalytic domain

The catalytic domain is the C-terminal domain, extending from residues 101-382.

The Prokaryotic Glutamine Synthetase Catalytic Domain

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate


Active site

The dodecamer contains 12 active sites total, each formed from the Beta grasp domain of one protomer and the Catalytic domain of the neighboring protomer.
