GatA is the catalytic glutaminase subunit of the bacterial GatABC amidotransferase in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. Within the heterotrimer it hydrolyzes glutamine and supplies ammonia for ATP-dependent conversion of misacylated Glu-tRNA(Gln) or Asp-tRNA(Asn) to correctly charged tRNAs.
| GO Term | Evidence | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| GO:0003824 catalytic activity | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Generic catalytic activity is true but uninformative beside the separately annotated GatA glutaminase activity. Reason: GatA belongs to the amidase family and GO:0004359 already captures its glutamine-hydrolysis site specifically. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt Belongs to the amidase family. GatA subfamily. |
| GO:0004359 glutaminase activity | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: GatA is the glutamine-hydrolyzing subunit of GatABC. Reason: The amidase-family assignment and catalytic residues support glutaminase activity. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt Belongs to the amidase family. GatA subfamily. |
| GO:0005737 cytoplasm | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: A soluble cytoplasmic location is plausible but not the defining GatA function. Reason: GatA is a subunit of the soluble tRNA-processing heterotrimer; the exact record has no membrane topology or export signal. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer of A, B and C subunits. |
| GO:0006412 translation | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: GatA supports translation through tRNA transamidation, but translation is downstream and broad. Reason: The direct process is glutaminyl-tRNA biosynthesis via transamidation. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt Allows the formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) |
| GO:0030956 glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase complex | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: GatA is a required subunit of the GatABC amidotransferase complex. Reason: UniProt specifies a heterotrimer containing A, B, and C subunits. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer of A, B and C subunits. |
| GO:0050567 glutaminyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: GatA contributes its glutaminase chemistry to the complete GatABC reaction. Reason: The reviewed record assigns the Glu-tRNA(Gln) transamidation reaction to the heterotrimeric enzyme, so GatA contributes to rather than independently enables the whole-complex activity. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt Reaction=L-glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamine + ATP + H2O |
| GO:0070681 glutaminyl-tRNAGln biosynthesis via transamidation | IEA GO_REF:0000104 | UNDECIDED | Summary: GatABC has the reaction capacity, but this route is not established in KT2440. Reason: The exact record describes transamidation of Glu-tRNA(Gln), but KT2440 also has direct GlnRS and no evidence establishes that its GltX supplies Glu-tRNA(Gln). The characterized Pseudomonas aeruginosa system instead uses discriminating GluRS and direct GlnRS. Supporting Evidence: file:PSEPK/gatA/gatA-uniprot.txt Allows the formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) PMID:14729703 GluRS is discriminating in the sense that it does not glutamylate tRNA(Gln) |
| GO:0050566 asparaginyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity | ISS PMID:14729703 Direct glutaminyl-tRNA biosynthesis and indirect asparaginyl... | NEW | Summary: GatA contributes glutamine hydrolysis to GatABC-dependent conversion of Asp-tRNA(Asn) to Asn-tRNA(Asn). Reason: The conserved GatABC complex, the KT2440 GatB/GatC asparaginyl reaction records, non-discriminating AspS, and the experimentally established Pseudomonas indirect Asn route support this complex-level activity. Supporting Evidence: PMID:14729703 The essential role of AdT in the formation of Asn-tRNA in P. aeruginosa |
| GO:0043039 tRNA aminoacylation | ISS PMID:14729703 Direct glutaminyl-tRNA biosynthesis and indirect asparaginyl... | NEW | Summary: GatA participates in the indirect ND-AspRS/GatABC route to Asn-tRNA(Asn). Reason: KT2440 lacks a canonical AsnRS, encodes non-discriminating AspS, and carries the conserved GatABC machinery experimentally shown to perform this route in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This row originally proposed GO:0070680 asparaginyl-tRNAAsn biosynthesis via transamidation, which is obsolete in the GO release 2026-07-26. Its replaced_by, GO:0070981 L-asparagine biosynthetic process, is not used because the indirect route ends at Asn-tRNA(Asn), not free asparagine, so GO:0043039 tRNA aminoacylation (the is_a parent of the obsolete term) is asserted instead. The GOA descendant GO:0070681 (glutaminyl-tRNAGln biosynthesis via transamidation) does not make this row redundant: that row is UNDECIDED here because the Gln transamidation route is not established in KT2440, whereas this row rests on the Asn route. Supporting Evidence: PMID:14729703 The essential role of AdT in the formation of Asn-tRNA in P. aeruginosa |
