Aspartate–tRNA ligase
- Proteins and Enzymes
Aspartate–tRNA ligase (EC 6.1.1.12) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme. It catalyzes a reaction in which ATP, L-aspartate and tRNAAsp produce AMP, diphosphate and L-aspartyl-tRNAAsp. It belongs to the ligase family, specifically enzymes that form carbon–oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds. The enzyme participates in alanine and aspartate metabolism and aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis.
