Ligands: F3S, FAD, FMN, SF4 Gene: gltB (ATCC 29145), gltD (ATCC 29145) Activity: Glutamate synthase (NADPH), with EC number 1.4.1.13 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Publication Abstract from PubMed Bacterial NADPH-dependent glutamate synthase (GltS) is a complex iron-sulfur flavoprotein that catalyzes the reductive synthesis of two L-Glu molecules from L-Gln and 2-oxo-glutarate. GltS functional unit hosts an alpha-subunit (alphaGltS) and a beta-subunit (betaGltS) that assemble in different alphabeta oligomers in solution. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structures of Azospirillum brasilense GltS in four different oligomeric states (alpha4beta3, alpha4beta4, alpha6beta4 and alpha6beta6, in the 3.5- to 4.1-A resolution range). Our study provides a comprehensive GltS model that details the inter-protomeric assemblies and allows unequivocal location of the FAD cofactor and of two electron transfer [4Fe-4S](+1,+2) clusters within betaGltS.
