Planteome: Term Details for "ureidoglycolate lyase activity" (GO:0050385)

Term Information

Accession: GO:0050385
Name: ureidoglycolate lyase activity
Ontology: molecular_function
Synonyms: (S)-ureidoglycolate urea-lyase (glyoxylate-forming), (S)-ureidoglycolate urea-lyase activity, ureidoglycolase activity, ureidoglycolatase activity, ureidoglycolate hydrolase activity
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: (S)-ureidoglycolate = glyoxylate + urea. Source: RHEA:11304, EC:4.3.2.3
Comment: Take care to annotate to the reaction, not simply by enzyme name. Note that the name "ureidoglycolate hydrolase" (listed as a synonym here) has variously been used to refer to two distinctly different enzymes. Both enzymes act on ureidoglycolate and produce glyoxylate, but the mechanism and reaction products are different. The "ureidoglycolate hydrolase" listed in the Enzyme commission (EC) is a ureidoglycolate amidohydrolase, releasing ammonia, (EC:3.5.3.19 ; GO:0004848). The "ureidoglycolate hydrolase" characterized in PMID:3915539 (published prior to the EC designation of EC:3.5.3.19) is a ureidoglycolate lyase, releasing urea (EC:4.3.2.3 ; GO:0050385). The inappropriate labelling of ureidoglycolate lyase as EC:3.5.3.19 has caused much confusion in the literature (see PMID:24107613). Take care to correctly annotate based on the reaction products, rather than name.
