CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline decarboxylase
Functional Family Uric acid degradation bifunctional protein TTL

Enzyme Information

3.5.2.17
Hydroxyisourate hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9LVM5
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.
4.1.1.97
2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline decarboxylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9LVM5
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.
