Yeast cells contain 3 pathways for the synthesis of glutamate. Two pathways are mediated by two isoforms of glutamate dehydrogenase, encoded by GDH1 and GDH3 (7, 8). The third pathway is driven by the combined activities of glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase, encoded by GLN1 and GLT1, respectively (3, 9). Gln1p catalyzes amination of glutamate to form glutamine; Glt1p then transfers the amide group of glutamine to 2-oxoglutarate, generating two molecules of glutamate. Glutamate synthase, also referred to as GOGAT, is a trimer of three Glt1p subunits. Expression of the GLT1 gene is modulated by glutamate-mediated repression and by Gln3p/Gcn4p-mediated activation, depending upon the availability of nitrogen and glutamate in the medium. In amino acid starvation conditions, GLT1 expression is activated to a moderate degree by Gcn4p (10).", "date_edited": "2007-10-04"}, "literature_overview": {"primary_count": 37, "additional_count": 68, "review_count": 22, "go_count": 9, "phenotype_count": 2, "disease_count": 0, "interaction_count": 55, "regulation_count": 8, "ptm_count": 12, "funComplement_count": 3, "htp_count": 15, "total_count": 201}, "disease_overview": {"manual_disease_terms": [], "htp_disease_terms": [], "computational_annotation_count": 0, "date_last_reviewed": null}, "ecnumbers": [{"display_name": "6.3.1.2", "link": "/ecnumber/EC:6.3.1.2"}], "URS_ID": null, "main_strain": "S288C", "genetic_position": 29.0, "regulation_overview": {"regulator_count": 10, "target_count": 0, "paragraph": {"text": "GLN1 promoter is bound by Fkh1p in response to starvation; GLN1 transcription is upregulated by Msn2p and Msn4p; Gln1 protein stability is regulated by Rsp5p", "date_edited": "2025-03-03", "references": [{"id": 2100688, "display_name": "Mondeel TDGA, et al.

Phenotype Details

Phenotype

Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided.

Summary
GLN1/YPR035W is an essential gene in strain S288C, in which null mutants are inviable, but non-essential gene in strain Sigma1278b, where null mutation causes glutamine auxotrophy and reduced filamentous growth; reduction of function mutations lead to hypoosmotic stress sensitivity rescuable by osmotic support in growth medium
Interaction Details

Interaction

Interaction annotations are curated by BioGRID and include physical or genetic interactions observed between at least two genes. An interaction annotation is composed of the interaction type, name of the interactor, assay type (e.g., Two-Hybrid), annotation type (e.g., manual or high-throughput), and a reference, as well as other experimental details.

Expression

Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
