✦ Synopsis
The NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of a high B-lactam producing industrial strain of Penicillium chrysogenum was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme (M, = 339000 f 34000) was demonstrated to have a homohexamer quaternary structure with a subunit molecular mass of M, = 56000 f 2000. The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme was also determined and was found to be highly homologous to other fungal NADP-specific glutamate dehydrogenase sequences.
