Enzyme Information
| 6.3.5.4 | Asparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing). based on mapping to UniProt P22106 ATP + L-aspartate + L-glutamine + H(2)O = AMP + diphosphate + L-asparagine + L-glutamate. -!- The enzyme from Escherichia coli has two active sites that are connected by an intramolecular ammonia tunnel. -!- The enzyme catalyzes three distinct chemical reactions: glutamine hydrolysis to yield ammonia takes place in the N-terminal domain. -!- The C-terminal active site mediates both the synthesis of a beta- aspartyl-AMP intermediate and its subsequent reaction with ammonia. -!- The ammonia released is channeled to the other active site to yield asparagine. |
