in yeast, NADP+-dependent enzymes, EC 1.4.1.4, encoded by GDH1 and GDH3, are reported to synthesize glutamate from 2-oxtoglutarate, while an NAD+-dependent enzyme, EC 1.4.1.2, encoded by GDH2, catalyzes the reverse reaction. Gdh1p is the primary GDH enzyme and Gdh2p and Gdh3p play evident roles during aerobic glutamate metabolism

the disruption of GDH2 was not deleterious to glutamate homeostasis. Mutant gdh2DELTA cells present wild-type growth and do not display any deficiencies due to glutamate homeostasis impairment neither under glucose nor under non-fermentable carbon sources. Deletion of GDH2 gene in a gdh3DELTA background increases the resistance under thermal or oxidative stress by decreasing ROS accumulation. The apoptosis is suppressed by GDH2 deletion through the elevated levels of glutamate and glutathione present in the double mutant. Under the tested conditions, deletion of GDH2 compensates the depletion of intracellular glutamate and glutathione (GSH) followed by stress-induced apoptotic cell death reinforcing further the idea that Gdh2p is responsible only for glutamate catabolism and not its production
through the enzymatic activity of Gdh2p the breakdown of glutamate provides adequate levels of ammonia in yeast cells. The catabolism of glutamate via the NAD-GDH activity is the major pathway of ammonia generation in vivo. Synthesis of glutamate occurs through the action of NADP-GDH (encoded by GDH1 and GDH3 genes, EC 1.4.1.4). NAD-GDH activity (encoded by GDH2) is responsible for glutamate degradation and release of ammonium and 2-oxoglutarate. The role of GDH1 and GDH2 is contradictory when investigated in yeast strains under cold-growth conditions
a high-copy number of the GDH2-encoded NADH-specific glutamate dehydrogenase gene stimulates growth at 15°C, while overexpression of NADPH-specific GDH1 has detrimental effects. Total cellular NAD levels are a limiting factor for growth at low temperature in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Increasing NADH oxidation by overexpression of GDH2 may help to avoid perturbations in the redox metabolism induced by a higher fermentative/oxidative balance at low temperature. Overexpression of GDH2 increases notably the cold growth in the wine yeast strain QA23 in both standard growth medium and synthetic grape must
the NAD-GDH activity in yeast is encoded by GDH2 gene and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate and ammonium. Yeast cells lacking GDH1 can use GDH2 to promote glutamate biosynthesis using ammonia as sole nitrogen source. Role of the GDH path in ROS-mediated apoptosis. GDH2 genetically interacts with GDH3 (EC 1.4.1.4) and controls stress-induced apoptosis. Role of GDH2 in glutamate homeostasis. GDH2 genetically interacts with GDH3 and controls stress-induced apoptosis
isozyme Gdh2p can be converted from an active NAD-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase to an inactive form by phosphorylation through cAMP-dependent and cAMP-independent protein kinases

LITERATURE
in the presence of preferred nitrogen sources, the expression of GDH2 is repressed by the transcriptional regulator Ure2 which sequesters Gln3 into the cytoplasm. The expression of GDH2 is regulated by the concurrent action of Gcn4 and Gln3. These two regulatory networks have been thought to interact, putting forward the existence of a physiological relation between Gln3 and Gcn4. Under nitrogen derepressive conditions and amino acid deprivation, Gcn4 and Gln3 form part of a transcriptional complex that binds on GDH2 promoter and dictates its expression. Overexpression of GDH2 is favoring yeast growth providing a growth advantage
