Popis: Expression and immune-detection studies showed that cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1) is the only active GS isozyme in senescing leaves of B. napus L. and that GS1 is a phospho-protein, which is regulated post-translationally by reversible phosphorylation catalysed by protein kinases and microcystin-sensitive serine/threonine protein phosphatases. Dephosphorylated GS1 is much more susceptible to degradation than the phosphorylated form. Phosphorylated GS1 can interact with 14-3-3 proteins. The degree of interaction with 14-3-3-proteins can in vitro be modified by decreasing or increasing the phosphorylation status of GS1 Transgenic oilseed rape plants overexpressing GS1 (2–3 fold higher GS1 activity in senescing leaves compared to wild-type plants) had a more efficient remobilization of N.
