| UniProt functional annotation for P76341 | |||
| UniProt code: P76341. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 5-hydroxyisourate (HIU) to 2-oxo- 4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline (OHCU). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16098976}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=5-hydroxyisourate + H2O = 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5- dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23736, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:18072, ChEBI:CHEBI:58639; EC=3.5.2.17; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16098976}; | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12542701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16723258}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Periplasm {ECO:0000269|Ref.3}. | |
| Induction: | Induced by H(2)O(2), via the HprR/HprS two-component system, and by Cu(2+), via the CusS/CusR two-component system. HprR and CusR bind to essentially the same sequence within the hiuH promoter region. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25568260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27983483}. | |
| Mass spectrometry: | Mass=13013; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12542701}; | |
| Miscellaneous: | Despite its homology to transthyretins, is not able to bind to the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). | |
| Miscellaneous: | Although some crystallographic structures were found to contain zinc, the purified protein does not contain bound metal ions, and does not require zinc or other metal ions for enzyme activity. | |
| Miscellaneous: | HIU hydrolysis also occurs spontaneously, but more slowly. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the transthyretin family. 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
