In enzymology, a hydroxyisourate hydrolase (EC 3.5.2.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 5-hydroxyisourate + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-hydroxyisourate and H2O, whereas its product is 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-hydroxyisourate amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include HIUHase, and 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2H1X and 2H6U.
