GDH, which catalyzes the synthesis and degradation of glutamate using NAD(P)(H), is a widely distributed enzyme among all domains of life. Mammalian GDH is regulated allosterically by multiple metabolites, in which the antenna helix plays a key role to transmit the allosteric signals. In contrast, bacterial GDH was believed not to be regulated allosterically because it lacks the antenna helix. We previously reported that GDH from...
