General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity

Urea + H2O = CO2 + 2 NH3. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9

Enzyme regulation

The apoenzyme can be activated in vitro in the presence of nickel ions and carbon dioxide, which promotes carbamylation of 'Lys-217' of the UreC (alpha) subunit. Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9

Pathway

Nitrogen metabolism; urea degradation; CO(2) and NH(3) from urea (urease route): step 1/1. HAMAP MF_00739

Subunit structure

Heterotrimer of UreA (gamma), UreB (beta) and UreC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme. The apoenzyme interacts with an accessory complex composed of UreD, UreF and UreG, which is required for the assembly of the nickel containing metallocenter of UreC. The UreE protein may also play a direct role as a metallochaperone in nickel transfer to the urease apoprotein. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.11

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity HAMAP MF_00739.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the urease gamma subunit family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=2.3 mM for urea Ref.2 Ref.3 Ref.10 Ref.18

Vmax=1.9 mmol/min/mg enzyme

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7.75.
