IPR017950 is a Urease active site.
<p>Urease (urea amidohydrolase, [ec:3.5.1.5]) is a nickel-binding enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia [[cite:PUB00001363]]. Historically, it was the first enzyme to be crystallized (in 1926). It is mainly found in plant seeds, microorganisms and invertebrates. In plants, urease is a hexamer of identical chains. In bacteria [[cite:PUB00003605]], it consists of either two or three different subunits (alpha, beta and gamma).</p> <p>Urease binds two nickel ions per subunit; four histidine, an aspartate and a carbamated-lysine serve as ligands to these metals; an additional histidine is involved in the catalytic mechanism [[cite:PUB00005206]]. The urease domain forms an (α/β)(8) barrel structure with structural similarity to other metal-dependent hydrolases, such as adenosine and AMP deaminase and phosphotriesterase.</p> <p>This entry represents a conserved region that contains the active site histidine.</p>
