ID   3.5.2.16
DE   maleimide hydrolase.
AN   cyclic imide hydrolase.
AN   imidase.
CA   H2O + maleimide = H(+) + maleamate.
CC   -!- Succinimide and glutarimide, and sulfur-containing cyclic imides,
CC       such as rhodanine, can also act as substrates for the enzyme from
CC       Blastobacter sp. A17p-4.
CC   -!- The reverse, cyclization, reaction is also catalyzed, but much more
CC       slowly.
CC   -!- It has lower activity toward cyclic ureides, which are the substrates
CC       of EC 3.5.2.2.
