Term:ammonia assimilation cycle
go back to main search page
Accession:GO:0019676 term browser browse the term
Definition:The pathway by which ammonia is processed and incorporated into a cell. In an energy-rich (glucose-containing), nitrogen-poor environment, glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase form an ammonia assimilatory cycle, in which ammonia is incorporated into L-glutamate to form L-glutamine, which then combines with alpha-ketoglutarate to regenerate L-glutamate. This ATP-dependent cycle is essential for nitrogen-limited growth and for steady-state growth with some sources of nitrogen.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: glutamate metabolic process via glutamine and ammonia;   glutamate metabolism via glutamine and ammonia
