ENZYME entry: EC 3.5.1.54

Accepted Name
allophanate hydrolase
Reaction catalysed
3 H(+) + H2O + urea-1-carboxylate <=> 2 CO2 + 2 NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • Along with EC 3.5.2.15 and EC 3.5.1.84, forms part of the cyanuric- acid metabolism pathway, which degrades s-triazide herbicides, such as atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5- triazine], in bacteria.
  • The Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme (but not that from green algae) also catalyzes the reaction of EC 6.3.4.6, thus bringing about the hydrolysis of urea to CO2 and NH3 in the presence of ATP and bicarbonate.
  • The enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP has a narrow substrate specificity, being unable to use the structurally analogous compounds urea, hydroxyurea or methylcarbamate as substrate.
