General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function in a gene disruption strain of GDH, only threonine dehydrogenase activity is detected, indicating that activities toward Gln/Ala/Val/Cys are dependent on GDH. The disruption strain cannot grow in a medium in which growth is dependent on amino acid catabolism, GDH may be the only enzyme that can discharge the electrons (to NADP+/NAD+) released from amino acids in their oxidation to 2-oxoacids. In a medium containing excess pyruvate, the disprution strain displays normal growth, but higher degrees of amino acid catabolism are observed Thermococcus kodakarensis
