ID 6.3.5.7 DE Glutaminyl-tRNA synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing). AN Glu-AdT. AN Glu-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase. AN Glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) amidotransferase. CA ATP + glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamine = ADP + phosphate + glutaminyl- CA tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamate. CC -!- In systems lacking discernible EC 6.1.1.18, glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) is CC formed by a two-enzyme system. CC -!- In the first step, a nondiscriminating ligase (EC 6.1.1.24) CC mischarges tRNA(Gln) with glutamate, forming glutamyl-tRNA(Gln). CC -!- The glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) is not used in protein synthesis until the CC present enzyme converts it into glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) (glutamyl- CC tRNA(Glu) is not a substrate for this reaction). CC -!- Ammonia or asparagine can substitute for the preferred substrate CC glutamine. PR PROSITE; PDOC00948; //
