SUMMARY Yeast glutamine synthetase was purified and shown to be an octameric globular protein (s = 15.4,fF0 = 1-29, mol. wt = 390000). It consists of two weakly-bound half molecules (s = 8.7, fFo = 1-35, mol. wt = 180500) and relatively harsh treat- ment is required to dissociate these octamers into component monomers (s = 3.8). Deactivation of the enzyme in vivo may include changes in the conformation of the native enzyme with its separation into two ' tight' tetramers, followed by their dis- sociation into component monomers and dimers. In the presence of Mg2+ and glutamate, monomers re-aggregate to oligomers which, although having transferase activity, are devoid of synthetase activity. The relevance of these observations in relation to control of glutamine synthetase activity in yeast is discussed.
