Deacetylase EF_0837-like composite domain
amidohydrolase family protein
This family of enzymes are a a large metal dependent hydrolase superfamily [1]. The family includes Adenine deaminase EC:3.5.4.2 that hydrolyses adenine to form hypoxanthine and ammonia. Adenine deaminases reaction is important for adenine utilisation as a purine and also as a nitrogen source [2]. This family also includes dihydroorotase and N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylases, EC:3.5.1.25 These enzymes catalyse the reaction N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H2O <=> D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + acetate. This family includes the catalytic domain of urease alpha subunit [3]. Dihydroorotases (EC:3.5.2.3) are also included [4-5]. [1]. 9144792.

amidohydrolase/deacetylase family metallohydrolase
Members of this family of relatively uncommon proteins are found in both Gram-positive (e.g. Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative (e.g. Aeromonas hydrophila) bacteria, as part of a cluster of conserved proteins. These proteins resemble aminohydrolases (see PF01979), including dihydroorotases. The function is unknown.
amidohydrolase/deacetylase family metallohydrolase similar to Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens dihydroorotase which converts carbamoyl aspartic acid into 4,5-dihydroorotic acid in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines
