Glutamic Amino Acid Binding Site
Glutamic amino acid is a product of the hydrolysis of proteins, and it is created by Glutamine in Proteins. It means that glutamine is converted to Glutamic amino acid during the hydrolysis of proteins. In Glutamine Synthetase, Glutamic amino acid binds well with Nitrogen of ATP.
The interaction of main-chain carbonyl oxygen containing Nitrogen in Glutamine Synthetase, is replaced by one with the side-chain of Glu-325 and Ser-154.[8] The amino acid residues Ser-53 and Asn-264 stabilize Glutamic acid in the binding site.[2]
Phosphinothricin resides with glutamate substrate pocket and stabilizes the Glu-327 flap in a site which hinders the access of glutamate into the active site, by holding the inhibitor in the enzyme.
When Glutamic amino acid binds in inhibitor Phosphinothricin between Glu-324 ~ 329, only Glu-327 flap which appears when MetSox or Phosphinothricin binds to Glutamine Synthatase will stabilize the orientation of phosphinyl group by guard the glutamate entrance into the bifunnel.
