EC 3.5.2.16 Details
EC number
3.5.2.16
Accepted name
maleimide hydrolase
Reaction
maleimide + H2O = maleamic acid
Other name(s)
imidase, cyclic imide hydrolase, cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (decyclicizing) [misprint], cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (decyclizing)
Systematic name
cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (ring-opening)
CAS registry number
9030-74-4
Comment
Succinimide and glutarimide, and sulfur-containing cyclic imides, such as rhodanine, can also act as substrates for the enzyme from Blastobacter sp. A17p-4. The reverse, cyclization, reaction is also catalysed, but much more slowly. It has lower activity towards cyclic ureides, which are the substrates of EC 3.5.2.2, dihydropyrimidinase.
