case <FTTag:NonDiscr_arch>
FUNCTIONAspartyl-tRNA synthetase with relaxed tRNA specificity since it is able to aspartylate not only its cognate tRNA(Asp) but also tRNA(Asn). Reaction proceeds in two steps: L-aspartate is first activated by ATP to form Asp-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Asp/Asn).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=ATP + L-aspartate + tRNA(Asx) = AMP + diphosphate + L- aspartyl-tRNA(Asx); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18349, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9710, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9711, ChEBI:CHEBI:29991, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78516, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.23;

FUNCTIONCatalyzes the attachment of L-aspartate to tRNA(Asp) in a two-step reaction: L-aspartate is first activated by ATP to form Asp- AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Asp).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=ATP + L-aspartate + tRNA(Asp) = AMP + diphosphate + L- aspartyl-tRNA(Asp); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19649, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9660, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9678, ChEBI:CHEBI:29991, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:78442, ChEBI:CHEBI:78516, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.1.1.12;
end case
case <OC:Archaea>
COFACTOR Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds 3 Mg(2+) cations per subunit. The strongest magnesium site (Mg1) is bound to the beta- and gamma-phosphates of ATP and four water molecules complete its coordination sphere.;
end case
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the class-II aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase family. Type 2 subfamily.
