heme feedback inhibition Arabidopsis thaliana
additional information structure analysis of the FLUTPR-GluTR-GBP ternary complex, overview. Three mechanisms for plant GluTR activity regulation: (i) the end-product feedback inhibition by heme, (ii) repression by a membrane protein FLUORESCENT (FLU), and (iii) formation of complex with a soluble GluTR-binding protein (GBP) Arabidopsis thaliana
protein FLU membrane protein FLUORESCENT, protein FLU directly interacts with GluTR's dimerization domain through its tetratricopepetide-repeat (TPR) domain. Enzyme binding structure, overview Arabidopsis thaliana
protein GBP a soluble GluTR-binding protein, enzyme binding structure, overview. the GluTR-GBP complex is stable and has a low apparent dissociation constant. Protein GBP is initially found in chloroplast stroma Arabidopsis thaliana

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism plants synthesize delta-aminolevulenic acid (ALA), the precursor for all tetrapyrrole molecules, from glutamate via a three-step pathway1 The first step is ligation of glutamate to tRNAGlu catalyzed by glutamyl-tRNA synthetase. Then glutamyl-tRNA reductase (GluTR) reduces the tRNAGlu-bound glutamate to glutamate-1-semialdehyde (GSA) in an NADPH-dependent manner. GSA is subsequently isomerized to ALA by a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme, glutamate-1-semialdehyde aminomutase (GSAM). 5-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis is the key regulatory point for the entire tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway, and particularly GluTR is subjected to a tight control at the post-translational level Arabidopsis thaliana

physiological function the GluTR-catalyzed glutamyl-tRNAGlu reduction by NADPH is a key regulatory point of the tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway.

The first step is ligation of glutamate to tRNAGlu catalyzed by glutamyl-tRNA synthetase.

Regulation of the enzyme within the pathway, detailed overview. Glutamate-1-semialdehyde aminomutase (GSAM) is proposed to form complex with GluTR to enable GSA channeling from GluTR to GSAM in bacteria, but not in plants Arabidopsis thaliana
