IPR008076

Description

IPR008076 is a Cyanate hydratase.

<p>Cyanate hydratase or cyanase lyase catalyses the reaction of cyanate with bicarbonate to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide, allowing the host organisms to overcome the toxicity of environmental cyanate [[cite:PUB00010276]]. The enzyme is also known as cyanate lyase and cyanate hydrolase.</p> <p>The cyanate lyase monomer is composed of two domains: an N-terminal domain that shows structural similarity to the DNA-binding α-helix bundle motif, and a C-terminal domain that has an 'open fold' that shows no structural similarity to other proteins [[cite:PUB00010276]].</p> <p>The enzyme is active as a homodecamer of 17kDa subunits, and displays half-site binding of substrates or substrate analogues. The dimer structure reveals the C-terminal domains to be intertwined; the decamer is formed from a pentamer of these dimers. The active site of the enzyme is located between dimers and comprises residues from four adjacent subunits of the homodecamer.</p>
