Abstract

A simple chromatographic procedure has been devised to separate -glutamyl phosphate reductase and 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase, allowing the measurement of the former in crude extracts. Analysis of a number of strains of has demonstrated that gene pro codes for -glutamyl phosphate reductase and for -glutamyl kinase. Introduction of a ColEl hybrid plasmid containing the region into a strain with a chromosomal deletion of led to 3- and 17-fold increases in the specific activities of -glutamyl kinase and -glutamyl phosphate reductase, respectively.
