description | Glutamate 5-kinase () (gamma-glutamyl kinase) (GK) is the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of proline from glutamate, the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of L-glutamate into L-glutamate 5-phosphate.In eubacteria (gene proB) and yeast [](gene PRO1), GK is a monofunctionalprotein, while in plants and mammals, it is a bifunctional enzyme (P5CS) []that consists of two domains: a N-terminal GK domain and a C-terminal gamma-glutamyl phosphate reductase domain ().This entry represents a highly conserved glycine-and alanine-rich region located in the central section of these enzymes. |
