IPR000132

Description

IPR000132 is a Nitrilase/cyanide hydratase, conserved site.

<p>This family includes both nitrilases and cyanide hydratase. Nitrilases ([ec:3.5.5.1]) are enzymes that convert nitriles into their corresponding acids and ammonia. They are widespread in microbes as well as in plants where they convert indole-3-acetonitrile to the hormone indole-3- acetic acid. A conserved cysteine has been shown [[cite:PUB00004812], [cite:PUB00002743]] to be essential for enzyme activity; it seems to be involved in a nucleophilic attack on the nitrile carbon atom. Cyanide hydratase ([ec:4.2.1.66]) converts HCN to formamide. In phytopathogenic fungi, it is used to avoid the toxic effect of cyanide released by wounded plants [[cite:PUB00000214]].</p>
