EC 3.5.2.15 Details
EC number
3.5.2.15
Accepted name
cyanuric acid amidohydrolase
Reaction
cyanuric acid + H2O = 1-carboxybiuret
Other name(s)
atzD (gene name), trzD (gene name)
Systematic name
cyanuric acid amidohydrolase
CAS registry number
132965-78-7
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the ring cleavage 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 enzyme is highly specific for cyanuric acid. The product was initially thought to be bioret, but was later shown to be 1-carboxybioret.
