FdGOGAT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G062860 (symbol FdGOGAT) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a protein with glutamate synthase (ferredoxin) activity, glutamate synthase (NADH) activity, oxidoreductase activity acting on the CH-NH2 group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor, and binding of 3Fe-4S clusters, FMN, FAD or FADH2, iron, and metal. The gene is associated with L-glutamate anabolism, response to ammonia, cell pH regulation, developmental growth, and homeostasis. Its product localizes to the amyloplast, chloroplast stroma, and plastid. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to glutamate synthase (ferredoxin) (EC 1.4.7.1) and glutamate synthase (NADH) (EC 1.4.1.14) activities.
