 | | Inhibition of the enzymes at the branchpoints causes intermediate to accumulate, and this intermediate then feeds back to inhibit the enzyme catalyzing the first commited step for the entire pathway. |
 | | Enzyme is feedback inhibited by 9 small molecules, most of which obtain nitrogen from glutamine: carbamoyl-phosphate, glucosamine-6-phosphate, tryptophan, histidine, alanine, serine, glycine, CTP and AMP. |
 | | In nitrogen-limited conditions, GS is present in higher amounts in cells, is deadenylylated, and less sensitive to feedback inhibition. |
