Mg2+ is bound to glutamine synthetase extracted from bovine or ovine brain in the presence of L-methionine-S-sulfoximine phosphate. 1986

M R Maurizi, and H B Pinkofsky, and P J McFarland, and A Ginsburg

Purified glutamine synthetase from bovine or ovine brain had no tightly bound Mn2+. By extraction of bovine or ovine brain glutamine synthetase in the presence of L-Met-S-sulfoximine phosphate and ADP in metal ion-free water and 0.1 M KCl, only endogenously bound divalent cations were trapped on the enzyme. Enzyme complexes isolated by immunoprecipitation contained less than 0.05 Mn2+ and 1.5 +/- 0.2 Mg2+ per subunit. Without inactive complex formation, the enzyme immunoprecipitated from extracts contained undetectable Mn2+ (less than 0.01 eq per subunit) and 0.1-2.0 eq of Mg2+ per subunit. Direct binding measurements showed that the purified bovine brain enzyme contained two divalent cations bound at the active site of each subunit. Thus, although either Mg2+ or Mn2+ supports enzyme activity in vitro, Mg2+ rather than Mn2+ appears to be bound to brain glutamine synthetase in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008274 Magnesium A metallic element that has the atomic symbol Mg, atomic number 12, and atomic weight 24.31. It is important for the activity of many enzymes, especially those involved in OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION.
D008345 Manganese A trace element with atomic symbol Mn, atomic number 25, and atomic weight 54.94. It is concentrated in cell mitochondria, mostly in the pituitary gland, liver, pancreas, kidney, and bone, influences the synthesis of mucopolysaccharides, stimulates hepatic synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids, and is a cofactor in many enzymes, including arginase and alkaline phosphatase in the liver.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain).
