Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an asparaginyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing) (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + aspartyl-tRNAAsn + L-glutamine ADP + phosphate + asparaginyl-tRNAAsn + L-glutamate
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, aspartyl-tRNA(Asn), and L-glutamine, whereas its 4 products are ADP, phosphate, asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn), and L-glutamate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds carbon-nitrogen ligases with glutamine as amido-N-donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aspartyl-tRNAAsn:L-glutamine amido-ligase (ADP-forming). This enzyme participates in glutamate metabolism and alanine and aspartate metabolism.
