Glutamine synthetase GS, EC 6.3.1.2 In vivo biosynthetic reaction: NH4+ + L-glutamate + ATP L-glutamine + ADP + Pi
Introduction • Technical aspects: • in vitro activity detection • separation by PAGE • identification of isoforms • Physiological aspect: • senescence: indicator of stress
Detection of GS In vitro synthetase reaction: NH2OH + L-glutamate + ATP -glutamyl hydroxamate + ADP + Pi

Summary Fusarium infection: • decrease of in vitro GS → accelerated senescence • decrease of protein content → accelerated senescence • decrease of Rubisco → breakdown of chloroplast • decrease of GS2 → breakdown of chloroplast • 2D pattern: protein degradation • 2D pattern: new dominant spots • Fusarium strains : virulence is different
Summary Inhibition (%) GS activity / FW GS activity / protein Sensitivity for 1a (F. culmorum): 501 >> 474 488 >> 483 Sensitivity for 2a (F. graminearum): 483 501 >>> 474 = 488
