#Question id: 10349

Elevated plastid levels of glutamine stimulate the activity of glutamate synthase (also known as glutamine:2- oxoglutarate aminotransferase, or GOGAT). Given below some of the statements about GOGAT, which one of the following is incorrect?

#Applied Microbiology
  1. Plants contain two types of GOGAT; one accepts electrons from NADH, and the other accepts electrons from ferredoxin (Fd)
  2. The NADH type of the enzyme (NADH-GOGAT) is located in plastids of nonphotosynthetic tissues such as roots or the vascular bundles of developing leaves
  3. The ferredoxin-dependent type of glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) is found in chloroplasts and serves in photorespiratory nitrogen metabolism
  4. This enzyme transfers the amide group of glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate, yielding two molecules of glutamine

The conversion of ammonium to amino acids requires two enzymes such as GS and GOGAT,

a) High levels of light and carbohydrate—conditions that stimulate plastid GS and Fd-GOGAT

b) Conditions of ample energy inhibit GS and GOGAT

c) The stimulation of GS and GOGAT, they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate, compounds that are rich in carbon and participate in the synthesis of new plant materials

d) In energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT
