Abstract
Ammonium assimilation is linked to fundamental cellular processes that include the synthesis of non-essential amino acids like glutamate and glutamine. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae glutamate can be synthesized from α-ketoglutarate and ammonium through the action of NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenases Gdh1 and Gdh3. Gdh1 and Gdh3 are evolutionarily adapted isoforms and cover the anabolic role of the GDH-pathway. Here, we review the role and function of the GDH pathway in glutamate metabolism and we discuss the additional contributions of the pathway in chromatin regulation, nitrogen catabolite repression, ROS-mediated apoptosis, iron deficiency and sphingolipid-dependent actin cytoskeleton modulation in S.cerevisiae. The pleiotropic effects of GDH pathway in yeast biology highlight the importance of glutamate homeostasis in vital cellular processes and reveal new features for conserved enzymes that were primarily characterized for their metabolic capacity. These newly described features constitute insights that can be utilized for challenges regarding genetic engineering of glutamate homeostasis and maintenance of redox balances, biosynthesis of important metabolites and production of organic substrates. We also conclude that the discussed pleiotropic features intersect with basic metabolism and set a new background for further glutamate-dependent applied research of biotechnological interest.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to use a wide variety of nitrogen sources for growth. Not all nitrogen sources support growth equally well. In order to select the best out of a large diversity of available nitrogen sources, the yeast has developed molecular mechanisms. These mechanisms consist of a sensing mechanism and a regulatory mechanism which includes induction of needed systems, and repression of systems that are not beneficial. The first step in use of most nitrogen sources is its uptake via more or less specific permeases. Hence the first level of regulation is encountered at this level. The next step is the degradation of the nitrogen source to useful building blocks via the nitrogen metabolic pathways. These pathways can be divided into routes that lead to the degradation of the nitrogen source to ammonia and glutamate, and routes that lead to the synthesis of nitrogen containing compounds in which glutamate and glutamine are used as nitrogen donor. Glutamine is synthesized out of ammonia and glutamate. The expression of the specific degradation routes is also regulated depending on the availability of a particular nitrogen source. Ammonia plays a central role as intermediate between degradative and biosynthetic pathways. It not only functions as a metabolite in metabolic reactions but is also involved in regulation of metabolic pathways at several levels. This review describes the central role of ammonia in nitrogen metabolism. This role is illustrated at the level of enzyme activity, translation and transcription.

Abstract
Modifications in the interactions of the muscle cytoskeleton with the cell membrane occur during cell growth and adaptation, although the mechanisms regulating these interactions are unknown. We have observed that myotendinous junctions (MTJs), which are the primary sites of turnover of the thin filament-membrane associations in skeletal muscle, are greatly enriched in receptors for PDGF. The high concentration of PDGF receptors at MTJs suggested to us that receptor binding may initiate cytoskeletal remodeling in skeletal muscle. We tested this possibility by examining the organization and phosphorylation of cytoskeletal components of L6 myocytes after PDGF stimulation. We have found that 10 min after PDGF stimulation, L6 myoblasts exhibit no stress fibers discernible by phalloidin binding, and that vinculin relocates from focal contacts into a diffuse cytoplasmic distribution. After 60 min of incubation, these changes are largely reversed. Indirect immunofluorescence shows that at 10-min PDGF stimulation, there are no changes in the distribution of talin, the beta 1 subunit of integrin, pp125FAK or desmin. Phosphotyrosine distribution changes upon stimulation from focal contacts to being located both in focal contacts and granules concentrated in perinuclear regions. These granules also immunolabel with anti-PDGF receptor Immunoprecipitations with anti-phosphotyrosine show that polypeptides at 180 and 230 kD show the greatest increase in tyrosine phosphorylation after PDGF stimulation. Immunoblots of anti-phosphotyrosine precipitates show that these polypeptides are the PDGF receptor and talin. We also examined the possibility that the cytoskeletal reorganization observed may result from calpain activation caused by elevated intracellular calcium induced by PDGF stimulation. However, immunoblots of control and stimulated cells show no decrease in the inactive calpain proenzyme or increase in the proteolytic, autolyzed forms of calpain pursuant to stimulation. Furthermore, stimulation produces no increase in the proportion of the 190-kD talin fragment characteristic of calpain-mediated cleavage. The retention of talin and integrin at focal contacts after talin phosphorylation, while vinculin is redistributed, indicate that phosphorylation of talin in PDGF-stimulated cells leads to separation of talin-vinculin associations but not talin-integrin associations. We propose that PDGF binding to PDGF receptors at MTJs may provide one means of regulating myofibril associations with the muscle cell membrane.

Abstract
The effect of different adenine-containing compounds on the NADP-/NAD-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) ratio was studied as a function of yeast-mycelium transition in Benjaminiella poitrasii. Under in vivo conditions, at a 5.0 mM concentration, cyclic AMP (cAMP) and dibutyryl cAMP maintained the cells in the yeast form for up to 7 and 5 h, respectively, and this was reflected in the patterns of GDH ratios observed. In vitro studies of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation have also been carried out, and the results suggest a possible correlation between cAMP, the GDH ratio, and cell form in B. poitrasii.

Abstract
A phosphoprotein of 65 kDa, as determined by SDS-gel electrophoresis, has been isolated from yeast crude extracts. This phospho form copurifies with phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in the enzyme purification procedure worked out in our laboratory (Tortora, P., Hanozet, G.M. and Guerritore, A. (1985) Anal. Biochem. 144, 179-185). Moreover, both proteins bind strongly to 5'AMP-Sepharose 4B in the presence of Mn2+, whereas a substantially lower binding occurs if Mn2+ is replaced by Mg2+. This binding pattern is consistent with the well-known Mn2+-dependence of yeast phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. These data suggest that the 65-kDa protein might be a phosphorylation product of the native enzyme. Furthermore, although the phospho form is not immunoprecipitated by anti-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase antibodies, addition of Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B to crude extracts preincubated with the antibodies results in the binding to the resin of the phospho form, thus providing immunological evidence for its identification as a modified form of native enzyme. The same 65-kDa phosphoprotein is detectable in extracts from cells grown in the presence of [32P]Pi, as well as in cell extracts incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. Moreover, digestion of the phosphoprotein with BrCN or with Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase, yields two and three fragments, respectively, which appear parallel to digestion products of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, again supporting the proposed identification. Finally, analysis of the phosphorylated amino acids in the 65-kDa protein shows that phosphoserine is the only labelled phosphoamino acid.

Abstract
When suspensions of Klebsiella aerogenes are incubated in a nitrogen-free medium there is a gradual decrease in the levels of acid-precipitable protein and of aspartokinase III (lysine-sensitive) and aspartokinase I (threonine-sensitive) activities. In contrast, the level of glutamine synthetase increases slightly and then remains constant. Under these conditions, the glutamine synthetase and other proteins continue to be synthesized as judged by the incorporation of [14C]leucine into the acid-precipitable protein fraction and into protein precipitated by anti-glutamine synthetase antibodies, by the fact that growth-inhibiting concentrations of chloramphenicol also inhibit the incorporation of [14C]leucine into protein and into protein precipitated by anti-glutamine synthetase antibody, and by the fact that chloramphenicol leads to acceleration in the loss of aspartokinases I and III and promotes a net decrease in the level of glutamine synthetase and its cross-reactive protein. The loss of aspartokinases I and III in cell suspensions is stimulated by glucose and is inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol. Glucose also stimulates the loss of aspartokinases and glutamine synthetase in the presence of chloramphenicol. Cell-free extracts of K. aerogenes catalyze rapid inactivation of endogenous glutamine synthetase as well as exogenously added pure glutamine synthetase. This loss of glutamine synthetase is not associated with a loss of protein that cross-reacts with anti-glutamine synthetase antibodies. The inactivation of glutamine synthetase in extracts is not due to adenylylation. It is partially prevented by sulfhydryl reagents, Mn2+, antimycin A, 2,4-dinitrophenol, EDTA, anaerobiosis and by dialysis. Following 18 h dialysis, the capacity of extracts to catalyze inactivation of glutamine synthetase is lost but can be restored by the addition of Fe2+ (or Ni2+) together with ATP (or other nucleoside di- and triphosphates. After 40-60 h dialysis Fe3+ together with NADH (but not ATP) are required for glutamine synthetase inactivation. The results suggest that accelerated protein degradation in cells exposed to nitrogen-limited conditions reflects the differential destruction of some proteins, including aspartokinases I and III, in order to sustain the biosynthesis of others such as glutamine synthetase. The loss of glutamine synthetase activity in cell-free extracts is likely mediated in part by mixed-function oxidation systems and could represent a 'marking' step in protein turnover.

Abstract
The in vivo stability of ferredoxin-nitrate reductase from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans under conditions of inhibited protein synthesis has been studied in nitrate-grown cells. A light-promoted rapid decay in cellular nitrate reductase activity took place in the absence of any added nitrogen source, but not in the presence of nitrate, nitrite, or ammonium. The inactivation process seemed to proceed in two sequential steps. The first step required both light and oxygen, and was inhibited by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) or, to a lesser extent, by sulfhydryl-containing compounds. The resulting inactive form of nitrate reductase, apparently suffering from an oxidative modification, could be reactivated in vivo either by switching-off the light or by addition of inorganic nitrogenous compounds. Prolonged illumination of the cells in the absence of a nitrogen source led to further modification of the enzyme, which could not be reversed. Stability of the active enzyme appears to be a decisive factor contributing to the determination of the actual level of nitrate reductase in A. nidulans cells.

Abstract
The breaking of dormancy in yeast ascospores by addition of glucose is associated with a sudden tenfold increase in the activity of trehalase. The rapid activation of trehalase is followed by a slower inactivation process which is greatly retarded in the presence of nitrogen sources and cycloheximide. When glucose is washed away from the spores after some time and the spores resuspended in glucose-free medium, the trehalase activity decreases sharply. Subsequent addition of new glucose partially reactivates the enzyme. The extent of reactivation decreases further with each subsequent activation/inactivation step. Changing the duration of the inactivation periods has no effect on this diminution of the reversibility. However, prolonging the duration of the activation step speeds up the loss of reversibility. On the other hand, addition of a nitrogen source or cycloheximide completely prevents the loss of reversibility. The results of the reversibility studies are in agreement with the phosphorylation mechanism which has been proposed for the underlying molecular process of trehalase activation. Apparently, they are also in agreement with proteolytic breakdown being responsible for the inactivation of trehalase after its initial activation. However, the effect of cycloheximide and nitrogen sources, at least in ascospores, does not appear to be due to inhibition or repression of protease synthesis, respectively, since the addition in the presence of glucose of a nitrogen source after trehalase inactivation immediately reactivates the enzyme completely.

Abstract
A rapid, reliable method for purification of phosphorylase, yielding 200-400 mg pure phosphorylase from 8 kg of pressed baker's yeast, is described. The enzyme is free of phosphorylase kinase activity but contains traces of phosphorylase phosphatase activity. Phosphorylase constitutes 0.5-0.8% of soluble protein in various strains of yeast assayed immunochemically. The subunit molecular weight (Mr) of yeast phosphorylase is around 100,000. The enzyme is composed of two subunits in various ratios, differing slightly in molecular weight and N-terminal sequence. Both are active. Only the enzyme species containing the larger subunit can form tetramers and higher oligomers. The activated enzyme is dimeric. Correlated with specific activity (1 to 110 U/mg), phosphorylase contained between less than 0.1 to 0.74 covalently bound phosphate per subunit. Inactive forms of phosphorylase could be activated by phosphorylase kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP with concomitant phosphorylation of a single threonine residue in the aminoterminal region of the large subunit. The small subunit was not labeled. The incorporated phosphate could be removed by yeast phosphorylase phosphatase, resulting in loss of activity of phosphorylase, which could be restored by ATP and phosphorylase kinase.

Abstract
Two phosphorylase kinase activities were resolved by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The main activity peak was enriched 2800-fold, the minor appeared to be an aggregate of the enzyme. Phosphorylase kinase also phosphorylated histone and casein with no changes in phosphorylation ratios throughout the preparation steps but was most active on yeast phosphorylase. The molecular weight was 29000 +/- 2000. ATP, UTP, GTP served as substrates while CTP was inactive. Mg-ions activated the kinase without inhibition at high concentrations (30 mM). In addition to this cAMP-independent kinase, cAMP-dependent protein kinase also phosphorylated phosphorylase. The catalytic subunit and phosphorylase kinase were not identical since the latter was not inhibited by yeast cAMP binding protein.

Abstract
The catabolic enzyme allantoinase is rapidly inactivated in cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa when the stationary phase of growth is reached. This process is irreversible since the protein synthesis inhibitor chloramphenicol completely blocked the reappearance of allantoinase activity that is observed when allantoin is added to stationary cells. Purified alloantoinase appeared to be a protein composed of four identical subunits with a molecular weight of 38,000. With antibodies raised against purified allantoinase it was found that allantoinase inactivation is accompanied by a parallel decrease in immunologically reactive material. This suggests that allantoinase inactivation is caused or followed by rapid proteolysis.

Abstract
Glutamine synthetase activity is modulated by nitrogen repression and by two distinct inactivation processes. Addition of glutamine to exponentially grown yeast leads to enzyme inactivation. 50% of glutamine synthetase activity is lost after 30 min (a quarter of the generation time). Removing glutamine from the growth medium results in a rapid recovery of enzyme activity. A regulatory mutation (gdhCR mutation) suppresses this inactivation by glutamine in addition to its derepressing effect on enzymes involved in nitrogen catabolism. The gdhCR mutation also increases the level of proteinase B in exponentially grown yeast. Inactivation of glutamine synthetase is also observed during nitrogen starvation. This inactivation is irreversible and consists very probably of a proteolytic degradation. Indeed, strains bearing proteinase A, B and C mutations are no longer inactivated under nitrogen starvation.
