EC 3.5.1.54     
Accepted name: allophanate hydrolase
Reaction: urea-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2 CO2 + 2 NH3
For diagram of atrazine catabolism, click here
Glossary: allophanate = urea-1-carboxylate
Other name(s): allophanate lyase; AtzF; TrzF
Systematic name: urea-1-carboxylate amidohydrolase
Comments: Along with EC 3.5.2.15 (cyanuric acid amidohydrolase) and EC 3.5.1.84 (biuret amidohydrolase), this enzyme forms part of the cyanuric-acid metabolism pathway, which degrades s-triazide herbicides, such as atrazine [2-chloro-4-(ethylamino)-6-(isopropylamino)-1,3,5-triazine], in bacteria. The yeast enzyme (but not that from green algae) also catalyses the reaction of EC 6.3.4.6, urea carboxylase, thus bringing about the hydrolysis of urea to CO2 and NH3 in the presence of ATP and bicarbonate. The enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP has a narrow substrate specificity, being unable to use the structurally analogous compounds urea, hydroxyurea or methylcarbamate as substrate [6].

EC 3.5.1.84     
Accepted name: biuret amidohydrolase
Reaction: biuret + H2O = urea-1-carboxylate + NH3
For diagram of atrazine catabolism, click here
Glossary: biuret = imidodicarbonic diamide
allophanate = urea-1-carboxylate
Other name(s): biuH (gene name)
Systematic name: biuret amidohydrolase
Comments: 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.

EC 6.3.4.6     
Accepted name: urea carboxylase
Reaction: ATP + urea + HCO3- = ADP + phosphate + urea-1-carboxylate
Glossary: urea-1-carboxylate = allophanate
Other name(s): urease (ATP-hydrolysing); urea carboxylase (hydrolysing); ATP—urea amidolyase; urea amidolyase; UALase; UCA
Systematic name: urea:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: A biotinyl-protein. The yeast enzyme (but not that from green algae) also catalyses the reaction of EC 3.5.1.54 allophanate hydrolase, thus bringing about the hydrolysis of urea to CO2 and NH3. Previously also listed as EC 3.5.1.45. The enzyme from the prokaryotic bacterium Oleomonas sagaranensis can also use acetamide and formamide as substrates [4].
