Abstract
Glutamine synthetase activity in a cytosol extract of liver was inhibited non-competitively by Mn2+ ions. The apparent Ki for Mn2" in the presence of phosphate was 8 micro M. Inhibition of glutamine synthetase by intracellular Mn2+ may contribute to the very low rates of glutamine synthesis observed in perfused liver and isolated hepatocytes.
