additional information | in the absence of an amino group acceptor, part of the ureidoglycine donates its amino group to the enzyme in a half-transamination reaction, and part of the ureidoglycine undergoes decay, producing the substrate necessary to complete the reaction. The enzyme is able to use various keto acids. No substrates: Ala, Asp, Glu, Ser, Val | Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis | ? | - |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

physiological function | PucG catalyzes the transamination between an unstable intermediate ((S)-ureidoglycine) and the end product of purine catabolism (glyoxylate) to yield oxalurate and glycine. This activity enables soil and gut bacteria to use the animal purine waste as a source of carbon and nitrogen. The same substrate provides both the amino group donor and, via its spontaneous decay, the amino group acceptor | Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis |
