Asparagine synthetase glutamine-dependent

Route c involves the conversion of aspartate to asparagine by glutamine-dependent asparagine synthetase (EC 6.3.5.4). The enzyme has had a checkered career and it has proved extremely difficult to prepare extracts with high activity. Joy and Ireland (1990) have described in detail suitable assay methods and discussed possible factors that may prevent the determination of maximum rates of activity. A heat-stable, dialyzable inhibitor was found in pea leaf homogenates that inhibited the lupin cotyledon enzyme (Joy et al. 1983). The presence of this inhibitor may well account for the current lack of detection of asparagine synthetase in green leaf tissue. [Pg.148]
