Comparative analysis of the amino acid sequence of glutamine synthetase (GS) of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides revealed that the enzyme is typical for first-type procaryotic GSs and structurally resembles GSs of enteric bacteria. The data indicate that the complex phenotype of purple bacterial mutants at the glnA gene coding GS may be related to the specific regulation of nitrogen metabolism in bacterial cells rather than by the structural and functional peculiarities of GS. 32 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
