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 16 is a family of L-asparaginases originating mostly from bacteria belonging to the Pseudomonadota phylum. That includes the original type I Escherichia coli EcAI (P0A962), an allosteric cytoplasmic enzyme with low affinity to L-asparagine that presents as a tetramer, specifically as a dimer of two intimate dimers . The Yersinia pestis YpAI (A0A3N4B0Q2) structure has also been solved, and the authors find that this L-asparaginase is active in a dimeric form, although it also forms tetramers in crystal.
