[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AAPAT_THET8 AAPAT_THET8] Catalyzes the reversible conversion of aspartate and 2-oxoglutarate to glutamate and oxaloacetate (PubMed:8907187, PubMed:25070637). Can also transaminate prephenate in the presence of aspartate (PubMed:25070637, PubMed:30771275).<ref>PMID:25070637</ref> <ref>PMID:30771275</ref> <ref>PMID:8907187</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Aspartate aminotransferase from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus thermophilus HB8 (ttAspAT), has been believed to be specific for an acidic substrate. However, stepwise introduction of mutations in the active-site residues finally changed its substrate specificity to that of a dual-substrate enzyme. The final mutant, [S15D, T17V, K109S, S292R] ttAspAT, is active toward both acidic and hydrophobic substrates. During the course of stepwise mutation, the activities toward acidic and hydrophobic substrates changed independently. The introduction of a mobile Arg292* residue into ttAspAT was the key step in the change to a "dual-substrate" enzyme. The substrate recognition mechanism of this thermostable "dual-substrate" enzyme was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. This work together with previous studies on various enzymes suggest that this unique "dual-substrate recognition" mechanism is a feature of not only aminotransferases but also other enzymes.
