Structural Evolution of Primate Glutamate Dehydrogenase 2 as Revealed by in Silico Predictions and Experimentally Determined Structures
2023-05-30
Abstract excerpt
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) interconverts glutamate to a-ketoglutarate and ammonia, interconnecting amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism. In humans, two functional GDH genes, GLUD1 and GLUD2, encode for hGDH1 and hGDH2, respectively. GLUD2 evolved from retro-transponsition of the GLUD1 gene in the common ancestor of modern apes. These two isoenzymes are involved in the pathophysiology of neoplastic, neurodegen...
