The structural gene for NADP L-glutamate dehydrogenase in Aspergillus nidulans

The structural gene for NADP L-glutamate dehydrogenase in Aspergillus nidulans

J R Kinghorn et al. J Gen Microbiol. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

A total of 41 mutants lacking NADP L-glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP-GDH) activity have been studied. All the mutations were located at the gdhA locus within 0-1% recombination of gdhAI. Two mutants, gdhAI and gdhA2, out of five examined, produced cross-reacting material which neutralized NADP-GDH anti-serum. The mutant gdhA9 has altered Km values for all five substrates: ammonium, alpha-ketoglutarate, l-glutamate, NADPH and NADP. The mutant gdhA20 had temperature-sensitive growth, abnormal ammonium-regulation characteristics and thermolabile NADP-GDH activity. These results show that gdhA is the structural gene for NADP-GDH.
