In enzymology, an aspartyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-asparagine + hydroxylamine NH3 + L-aspartylhydroxamate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-asparagine and hydroxylamine, whereas its two products are NH3 and L-aspartylhydroxamate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the aminoacyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-asparagine:hydroxylamine gamma-aspartyltransferase. Other names in common use include beta-aspartyl transferase, and aspartotransferase.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hydroxylamine</span> Inorganic compound

Hydroxylamine is an inorganic compound with the formula NH2OH. The material is a white crystalline, hygroscopic compound. Hydroxylamine is almost always provided and used as an aqueous solution. It is consumed almost exclusively to produce Nylon-6. The oxidation of NH3 to hydroxylamine is a step in biological nitrification.

Nitrifying bacteria are chemolithotrophic organisms that include species of genera such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrobacter, Nitrospina, Nitrospira and Nitrococcus. These bacteria get their energy from the oxidation of inorganic nitrogen compounds. Types include ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Many species of nitrifying bacteria have complex internal membrane systems that are the location for key enzymes in nitrification: ammonia monooxygenase, hydroxylamine oxidoreductase, and nitrite oxidoreductase.
