text	Oxaloacetate is converted to L-aspartate within the plastids and upon transport of aspartate to the cytosol, asparagine synthase catalyzes the transfer of the glutamine-amide group to aspartate forming asparagine and glutamate. This enzyme could also use ammonium as a substrate. Asparagine along with glutamine, glutamate, and aspartate are key nitrogen transport forms in plants. Asparagine is also used as a nitrogen donor to synthesize amino acids, specially in sink tissues of plants.
