L-Asparagine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Overview and history
Asparagine [symbol Asn or N][1] is a key α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains a α-amino group and a α-carboxylic acid group as well as a side chain carboxamide. It is classified as a polar [at physiological pH], aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, and can undergo de novo synthesis inside the human body. From the aspect of genetic code during protein synthesis, it is encoded by the codons AAU and AAC[2].The discovery of L-Asn dates back over 200 years with its identification from natural sources by Delaville[3] and first isolation by French chemists Vauquelin and Robiquet[4] from spears of Asparagus sativus. Not only was Asn the first amino acid identified, it was one of the first examples of the preparation of a Damino acid by Piutti[5]. Piutti was also credited with the determination of the chemical structure of Asn, and the first observation of enantioselectivity of a biological receptor, for his discovery of a difference in taste between Dand L-Asn. It was rapidly discovered that Asn is present in all higher plants, and Schulze and Winterstein[6] were the first to show that, although present in small quantities in green plants, it accumulates under carbohydrate deficiency or starvation in general. Asn was also reported to be formed as a temporary N reserve during aberrations in normal protein metabolism, when excess ammonium is formed[7]. Furthermore, the role of Asn as a translocated nitrogenous substance in a form suitable for subsequent re-synthesis from one organ of a plant to another was demonstrated by Chibnall[8]. Murneek[9] summarized the findings of several researchers at the time and reported that under carbohydrate depleted conditions excess protein unused by the plant is hydrolyzed by means of proteolytic enzymes and hence amino acids are formed including Asn.

Synthesis and Metabolism
A major route for Asn biosynthesis is via the ATP-dependent transfer of the amide group of glutamine to the β-carboxyl group of aspartate by the action of asparagine synthetase[AS]. So far, two types of ASs, AsnA and AsnB, have been identified. While prokaryotes utilize AsnA type ASs that require ammonia as an amide donor as well as AsnB type ASs that can catalyze the reaction using either ammonium or glutamine as an amide donor, most eukaryotes only use AsnB type ASs[10, 11]. AS is notably difficult to assay from plant tissues[12]. AsnB-type ASs are members of the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase[Ntn] group of glutamine amidotransferases[13, 14]. They are characterized by an N-terminal cysteine nucleophilic residue producing a cysteinyl-glutamine tetrahedral intermediate from which ammonium is abstracted. Glutamate is released by hydrolysis of the resulting γ-glutamyl thioester intermediate. The ammonia is tunneled to a C-terminal transferase domain. This domain activates aspartate through ATP hydrolysis as a β-aspartyl AMP intermediate. Nucleophilic attack by the ammonia results in cleavage and release of Asn. There are two groups of AS enzymes in higher plants designated as class I and II. Results of kinetic analyses of recombinant maize AS enzymes indicated that class I enzymes may have specialized functions as they can have higher affinity for glutamine and their expression is restricted to specific tissues[15]. The detailed schematic pathways of asparagine metabolic pathways are shown in Figure 2[16].
Figure 2 Asparagine metabolic pathways Ammonium is assimilated into the glutamine-amide group for glutamine synthesis by the reaction of glutamine synthetase[GS]. Glutamate synthase[GOGAT] transfers the amide group of glutamine to the 2-position of 2-oxoglutarate, generating glutamate. Asparagine synthetase[AS] converts either the glutamine-amide group or ammonium into aspartate, yielding asparagine. Transamination of glutamate with oxaloacetate by aspartate aminotransferase[AspAT] generates aspartate, which serves as a substrate of asparagine synthesis. The asparagine amide group can be degraded by asparaginase[ASPG], yielding ammonium and aspartate. The asparagine amino group is hydrolyzed by asparagine aminotransferase[AsnAT], producing ammonium and 2-oxosucinamate. AsnAT catalyzes the transamination reaction of asparagine with glyoxylate, pyruvate, 4-hydroxypyruvate and 4-hydroxy 2-oxobutyrate as amino acceptors, producing glycine, alanine, serine and homoserine, respectively. 2-Oxosuccinamate is then converted to ammonium and oxaloacetate by ω-amidase.
Asparagine synthetase
Asparagine synthetase[l-aspartate: ammonia ligase[AMP-forming], EC 6.3.1.1] catalyzes the reversible conversion of l-aspartate, NH4+, and ATP to l-asparagine, AMP, and PPi. The enzyme is distributed widely in nature, but its enzymological properties have not been studied in detail. Pioneering studies have been made on the enzymes from lactic acid bacteria. The enzyme from Lactobacillus arabinosus can be stored at 4 ℃ for 3 weeks but not at–20℃[17]. The optimum pH is 8.2, and the optimum temperature is about 40℃. The enzyme is specific for l-aspartate and does not act on l-glutamate. β-l-Aspartyl hydroxamate is synthesized when hydroxamate is added to the reaction mixture instead of NH4+. The enzyme requires Mg2+ and is activated by Mn2+. No activation of Mg2+ was observed for the E. coli[18] and Streptococcus bovis enzymes.
Asparaginase
Asparaginase[l-asparagine amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.1] catalyzes the hydrolysis of the amido bond of l-asparagine and irreversibly produces l-aspartate and ammonia. The enzyme is widely distributed in microorganisms, animals, and plants. The bacterial enzymes from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus[19], Bacillus coagulans[20], E. coli[21], and Vibrio succinogenes[22] also show enzymatic activity on d-asparagine. The enzyme from E. coli has been used for the industrial production of l-asparagine. Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces the enzyme both intracellularly and extracellularly[23]. The synthesis of the enzyme is stimulated by nitrogen starvation, requires an available energy source, and is prevented by cycloheximide. The intracellular enzyme appears to be constitutive. The extracellular activity is relatively insensitive to p-hydroxymercuribenzoate inhibition, whereas the intracellular activity is highly inhibited by this compound.
