Abstract excerpt
E. coli carbamyl phosphate synthetase binds 0.2-0.4 mol equivalents of glutamine in an acid resistant form. The bound material is quantitatively released as glutamate by weak base hydrolysis and as a mixture of 12% glutamate, 10% gamma-glutamylhydroxamate, and 70% pyrrollidonecarboxylic acid by hydrolysis with hydroxylamine. These results provide direct evidence for a gamma-glutamyl acyl ester on the enzyme. The...
