Comments [?]

Catalytic activity RHEA:20557: 2 H(+) + H2O + urea = CO2 + 2 NH4(+)
EC 3.5.1.5
case <FTGroup:1> and <FTGroup:2>
Cofactor Ni cation
Note: Binds 2 nickel ions per subunit.
end case
Pathway Nitrogen metabolism; urea degradation; CO(2) and NH(3) from urea (urease route): step 1/1.
case <OC:Campylobacterales>
Subunit Heterohexamer of 3 UreA (alpha) and 3 UreB (beta) subunits.
else case <OC:Deinococcus> or <OC:Sulfolobus>
Subunit Heterohexamer of 3 UreC (alpha) and 3 UreAB (gamma/beta) subunits.
else case <OS:Pseudomonas syringae> or <OC:Streptomyces>
Subunit May form a heterohexamer of 3 UreC (alpha) and 3 UreAB (gamma/beta) subunits. May also form a heterotrimer of UreA (gamma), UreB (beta) and UreC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme.
else
Subunit Heterotrimer of UreA (gamma), UreB (beta) and UreC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme.
end case
Subcellular location Cytoplasm.
case <FT:4>
Ptm Carboxylation allows a single lysine to coordinate two nickel ions.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. Urease alpha subunit family.
case <OC:Campylobacterales>
Caution The orthologous protein is known as the alpha subunit (UreC) in most other bacteria.
end case
