| UniProt functional annotation for Q45697 | |||
| UniProt code: Q45697. |
| Organism: | Bacillus sp. (strain TB-90). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes two steps in the degradation of uric acid, i.e. the oxidation of uric acid to 5-hydroxyisourate (HIU) and the stereoselective decarboxylation of 2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5- ureidoimidazoline (OHCU) to (S)-allantoin (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5- carboxylate + H(+) = (S)-allantoin + CO2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:26301, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15678, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:58639; EC=4.1.1.97; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=H2O + O2 + urate = 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21368, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16240, ChEBI:CHEBI:17775, ChEBI:CHEBI:18072; EC=1.7.3.3; | |
| Pathway: | Purine metabolism; urate degradation; (S)-allantoin from urate: step 1/3. | |
| Pathway: | Purine metabolism; urate degradation; (S)-allantoin from urate: step 3/3. | |
| Miscellaneous: | HIU and OHCU are unstable, they spontaneously decompose to form a racemic mixture of allantoin. | |
| Similarity: | In the N-terminal section; belongs to the OHCU decarboxylase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | In the C-terminal section; belongs to the uricase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAA08723.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
