Ammonia production usually uses a cysteine-histidine-glutamate triad or a N-terminal cysteine residue. Crystal structures of several amidotransferase ligand complexes, mimicking intermediates along the catalytic cycle, have now been determined. In most cases, acceptor binding triggers glutaminase activation through domain-hinged movements and other conformational changes. Structural information shows how flexible loops of the synthase and glutaminase domains move to shield the two catalytic sites and anchor the substrates, and how the ammonia channel forms and opens or closes.
