In enzymology an asparagine-tRNAAsn ligase (EC 6.1.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-asparagine + tRNAAsx AMP + diphosphate + asparaginyl-tRNAAsxThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-asparagine and tRNAAsx whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and asparaginyl-tRNAAsx.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases to be specific those forming carbon-oxygen bonds in aminoacyl-tRNA and related compounds.
