Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine in the parasite protein, several salt-bridges mediate contacts between the subunits, possesses a unique N-terminal extension that does not occur in any other GDH sequence so far studied, design of peptidomimetics capable of disrupting the oligomeric organisation of the parasite enzyme Plasmodium falciparum

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
mutant GDH transformed into competent Escherichia coli PA340 cells, which are glutamate synthase and dehydrogenase-deficient Plasmodium falciparum

Crystallization (Commentary)

Crystallization (Comment) Organism
plate-like crystals of monoclinic space group C2 grown by vapour-diffusion using the sitting-drop method, X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 2.7 A Plasmodium falciparum

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information deletion mutant lacking the first 19 amino acid residues, shows unchanged activity and forms hexamers, thus the unique extension does not appear to be essential for catalysis and subunit assembly, and presumably fulfils some other yet unknown function Plasmodium falciparum
