Name: aspS Updated annotation (from data): aspartyl-tRNA(Asp/Asn) synthetase (EC 6.1.1.23) Rationale: A conserved essential gene. This activity is necessary to explain asparagine biosynthesis. Similar to both aspartyl-tRNA(Asp) synthetases (as from Arabidopsis chloroplasts & mitochondria) and to aspartyl-tRNA(Asn) synthetases (as from Bacillus subtilis) Original annotation: aspartyl-tRNA synthetase Type 1: Protein-coding gene Located on scaffold NC_007604, + strand, nucleotides 1,340,634 to 1,342,433 See nucleotide sequence around Synpcc7942_1313 or for all of scaffold NC_007604
