Entry
Name

ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase;
ferredoxin-glutamate synthase;
glutamate synthase (ferredoxin-dependent)
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors;
With an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
L-glutamate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (transaminating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
2 L-glutamate + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = L-glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+ (overall reaction) [RN:
R00021 ];
(1a) L-glutamate + NH3 = L-glutamine + H2O [RN:
R00256 ];
(1b) L-glutamate + 2 oxidized ferredoxin + H2O = NH3 + 2-oxoglutarate + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+ [RN:
R10086 ]
Reaction(KEGG)

Comment
Binds a [3Fe-4S] cluster as well as FAD and FMN. The protein is composed of two domains, one hydrolysing L-glutamine to NH3 and L-glutamate (cf. EC
3.5.1.2 , glutaminase), the other combining the produced NH3 with 2-oxoglutarate to produce a second molecule of L-glutamate. The NH3 is channeled through a 24 A channel in the active protein. No hydrolysis of glutamine takes place without ferredoxin and 2-oxoglutarate being bound to the protein [5,6].
