Additional Information

Clan 5 is the clan that holds many of the historical bacterial "type I" L-asparaginases as well as L-asparaginases from fungi and metazoans, including humans.

Family 14 contains the metazoan L-asparaginases, many of these are named 60 kDa lysophospholipase (LPP60) due to homology to the Rattus norvegicus LPP60 (O88202), also found in this family, which in addition to L-asparaginase activity presents lysophospholipase, transacetylase and acetylhydrolase activities. Most of the sequences have ankyrin repeats, but their function is unknown in this case, and an additional alpha helix in the N-terminal L-asparaginase domain, when compared to sequences in other families. The Cavia porcellus CpAI (H0W0T5) presents as a tetramer (dimer of two dimers) and has a surprisingly low KM when using L-asparagine as a substrate, comparable to that of ErAII, and undetectable L-glutaminase activity. In contrast, the human homolog; Homo sapiens HsAI (Q86U10), is an allosteric enzyme with low affinity to L-asparagine.
