ID 6.3.5.6 DE Asparaginyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing). AN Asp-AdT. AN Asp-tRNA(Asn) amidotransferase. AN Aspartyl-tRNA(Asn) amidotransferase. CA ATP + aspartyl-tRNA(Asn) + L-glutamine + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate + CA asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn) + L-glutamate. CC -!- This reaction forms part of a two-reaction system for producing CC asparaginyl-tRNA in Deinococcus radiodurans and other organisms CC lacking a specific enzyme for asparagine synthesis. CC -!- In the first step, a non-discriminating ligase (EC 6.1.1.23) CC mischarges tRNA(Asn) with aspartate, leading to the formation of CC aspartyl-tRNA(Asn). CC -!- The aspartyl-tRNA(Asn) is not used in protein synthesis until the CC present enzyme converts it into asparaginyl-tRNA(Asn) (aspartyl- CC tRNA(Asp) is not a substrate for this reaction). CC -!- Ammonia or asparagine can substitute for the preferred substrate CC glutamine. //
