ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.5.4

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.3.5.4
Accepted Name
asparagine synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)
Alternative Name(s)
AS-B
asparagine synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)
asparagine synthetase B
glutamine-dependent asparagine synthetase
Reaction catalysed
L-aspartate + L-glutamine + ATP + H2O = L-asparagine + L-glutamate + AMP + diphosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • 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.
