EC 3.5.1.84 Details
EC number
3.5.1.84
Accepted name
biuret amidohydrolase
Reaction
biuret + H2O = urea-1-carboxylate + NH3
Other name(s)
biuH (gene name)
Systematic name
biuret amidohydrolase
CAS registry number
95567-88-7
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841, participates in the degradation of cyanuric acid, an intermediate in the degradation of s-triazide herbicides such as atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine]. The substrate, biuret, forms by the spontaneous decarboxylation of 1-carboxybiuret in the absence of EC 3.5.1.131, 1-carboxybiuret hydrolase.
