The Structural Gene for NADP l-Glutamate Dehydrogenase in Aspergillus Nidulans KINGHORN, J. R. and PATEMAN, J. A.,, 86, 294-300 (1975), doi = https://doi.org/10.1099/00221287-86-2-294, publicationName = Microbiology Society, issn = 1350-0872, abstract= SUMMARY: 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 gdhA1. Two mutants, gdhA1 and gdhA2, out of five examined, produced cross-reacting material which neutralized NADP-GDH antiserum. The mutant gdhA9 has altered Km values for all five substrates: ammonium, α-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., language=, type=
