GLUD1 encodes glutamate dehydrogenase 1, the major, ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial-matrix enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) with release of ammonia, using NAD(+) or NADP(+) as cofactor (EC 1.4.1.3). It is the central metabolic link between amino-acid/nitrogen metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, providing anaplerotic alpha-ketoglutarate and channeling ammonia toward the urea cycle. The mature enzyme (after cleavage of an N-terminal mitochondrial transit peptide) assembles into a homohexamer whose activity is tightly allosterically regulated: it is activated by ADP and L-leucine and inhibited by GTP and ATP, and it is inactivated by SIRT4-mediated ADP-ribosylation. The bulk of the protein localizes to the mitochondrial matrix, with a small pool in the endoplasmic reticulum and cytoplasm. In pancreatic beta-cells GLUD1 couples amino-acid catabolism to insulin secretion, and in the brain it contributes to turnover of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Dominant gain-of-function mutations that impair GTP inhibition cause the hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 6).

Summary: Phylogenetic (PAN-GO) inference of the NAD(+)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase activity. This is the well-established catalytic activity of GLUD1 and is directly supported by human experimental data. Because GLUD1 is a genuine dual-cofactor enzyme using both NAD(+) and NADP(+), the umbrella term GO:0004353 [NAD(P)+] is the most representative core function; the NAD(+)-specific term is accurate as a component of that activity.

GLUD1 encodes glutamate dehydrogenase 1, the major, ubiquitously expressed
mitochondrial-matrix enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination
of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) with release of ammonia,
using NAD(+) or NADP(+) as cofactor (EC 1.4.1.3). It is the central metabolic
link between amino-acid/nitrogen metabolism and the tricarboxylic acid cycle,
providing anaplerotic alpha-ketoglutarate and channeling ammonia toward the urea
cycle. The mature enzyme (after cleavage of an N-terminal mitochondrial transit
peptide) assembles into a homohexamer whose activity is tightly allosterically
regulated: it is activated by ADP and L-leucine and inhibited by GTP and ATP,
and it is inactivated by SIRT4-mediated ADP-ribosylation. The bulk of the protein
localizes to the mitochondrial matrix, with a small pool in the endoplasmic
reticulum and cytoplasm. In pancreatic beta-cells GLUD1 couples amino-acid
catabolism to insulin secretion, and in the brain it contributes to turnover of
the neurotransmitter glutamate. Dominant gain-of-function mutations that impair
GTP inhibition cause the hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (familial
hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia type 6).

L-glutamate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity: catalyzes the reversible oxidative
deamination of L-glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) with release
of ammonia, using either NAD(+) or NADP(+) as the redox cofactor, in the
mitochondrial matrix. This is the defining catalytic activity of GLUD1 and the
central link between amino-acid/nitrogen metabolism and the TCA cycle.

ADP binding: binds ADP at a defined allosteric site, which activates the enzyme
(and sensitizes it to L-leucine). ADP binding drives GLUD1 into its catalytically
active state under conditions of high ADP:ATP ratio, integrating enzyme activity
