ENTRY EC 6.3.4.6
NAME Urea carboxylase
Urease (ATP-hydrolysing)
Urea carboxylase (hydrolysing)
ATP--urea amidolyase
CLASS Ligases
Forming carbon-nitrogen bonds
Other carbon--nitrogen ligases
SYSNAME Urea:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)
REACTION ATP + Urea + CO2 = ADP + Orthophosphate + Urea-1-carboxylate
SUBSTRATE ATP
Urea
CO2
PRODUCT ADP
Orthophosphate
Urea-1-carboxylate
COFACTOR Biotin
COMMENT A biotinyl-protein. The yeast enzyme (but not that from green
algae) also catalyses the reaction of EC 3.5.1.54, thus bringing
about the hydrolysis of urea to CO2 and NH3. Previously also
listed as EC 3.5.1.45.
PATHWAY PATH: MAP00220 Urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups
PATH: MAP00910 Nitrogen metabolism
