FunFam 3: Uric acid degradation bifunctional protein TTL

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline decarboxylase. [EC: 4.1.1.97]
5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate = (S)- allantoin + CO(2).
  • This enzyme is part of the pathway from urate to (S)-allantoin, which is present in bacteria, plants and animals (but not in humans).
  • Formerly EC 4.1.1.n1.

Hydroxyisourate hydrolase. [EC: 3.5.2.17]
5-hydroxyisourate + H(2)O = 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro- 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate.
  • The reaction is the first stage in the conversion of 5-hydroxyisourate into (S)-allantoin.
  • This reaction will also occur spontaneously, but more slowly.
