Comments [?]

Function Required for maturation of urease via the functional incorporation of the urease nickel metallocenter.
case not <OC:Helicobacter>
Subunit UreD, UreF and UreG form a complex that acts as a GTP-hydrolysis-dependent molecular chaperone, activating the urease apoprotein by helping to assemble the nickel containing metallocenter of UreC. The UreE protein probably delivers the nickel.
else case <OC:Helicobacter>
Subunit UreH, UreF and UreG form a complex that acts as a GTP-hydrolysis-dependent molecular chaperone, activating the urease apoprotein by helping to assemble the nickel containing metallocenter of UreC. The UreE protein probably delivers the nickel.
end case
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
Similarity Belongs to the UreF family.
