Enzymes

General function:
Involved in carbon-nitrogen ligase activity, with glutamine as amido-N-donor
Specific function:
Furnishes a means for formation of correctly charged Gln-tRNA(Gln) through the transamidation of misacylated Glu- tRNA(Gln) in the mitochondria. The reaction takes place in the presence of glutamine and ATP through an activated gamma-phospho- Glu-tRNA(Gln). Required for HMG2-induced ER-remodeling
Gene Name:
HER2
Uniprot ID:
Q03557
Molecular weight:
50918.0
Reactions
ATP + L-glutamyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamine → ADP + phosphate + L-glutaminyl-tRNA(Gln) + L-glutamate.
