abstract = {Glutamine amidotransferases are multienzyme machineries in
which reactive ammonia is generated by a glutaminase and
then transferred through a sequestered protein tunnel to a
synthase active site for incorporation into diverse
metabolites. To avoid wasteful metabolite consumption, there
is a requirement for synchronized catalysis, but any
generally applicable mechanistic insight is still lacking.
As synthase activity depends on glutamine turnover, we
investigated possible mechanisms controlling glutaminase
catalysis using aminodeoxychorismate synthase involved in
folate biosynthesis as a model. By analyzing this system in
distinct states of catalysis, we found that incubation with
glutamine leads to a subunit interface expansion by
one-third of its original area. These changes completely
enclose the glutaminase active site for sequestered
catalysis and the subsequent transport of volatile ammonia
to the synthase active site. In view of similar
rearrangements in other glutamine amidotransferases, our
observations may provide a general mechanism for the
catalysis synchronization of this multienzyme family.},
