Novel amidohydrolytic reactions in oxidative pyrimidine metabolism: analysis of the barbiturase reaction and discovery of a novel enzyme, ureidomalonase.
Soong C.-L., Ogawa J., Shimizu S.
Amidohydrolytic reactions in oxidative pyrimidine metabolism were investigated in detail. Barbiturase has been reported to catalyze the amidohydrolysis of barbituric acid to urea and malonic acid. However, purification of the enzyme revealed that it catalyzes the ring-opening of barbituric acid to ... >> More
Amidohydrolytic reactions in oxidative pyrimidine metabolism were investigated in detail. Barbiturase has been reported to catalyze the amidohydrolysis of barbituric acid to urea and malonic acid. However, purification of the enzyme revealed that it catalyzes the ring-opening of barbituric acid to ureidomalonic acid. The existence of a consecutive enzyme named ureidomalonase, which hydrolyzes ureidomalonic acid to urea and malonic acid, was also discovered during the purification of barbiturase. << Less

Barbiturase, which catalyzes the reversible amidohydrolysis of barbituric acid to ureidomalonic acid in the second step of oxidative pyrimidine degradation, was purified to homogeneity from Rhodococcus erythropolis JCM 3132. The characteristics and gene organization of barbiturase suggested that it is a novel zinc-containing amidohydrolase that should be grouped into a new family of the amidohydrolases superfamily. The amino acid sequence of barbiturase exhibited 48% identity with that of herbicide atrazine-decomposing cyanuric acid amidohydrolase but exhibited no significant homology to other proteins, indicating that cyanuric acid amidohydrolase may have evolved from barbiturase. A putative uracil phosphoribosyltransferase gene was found upstream of the barbiturase gene, suggesting mutual interaction between pyrimidine biosynthesis and oxidative degradation. Metal analysis with an inductively coupled radiofrequency plasma spectrophotometer revealed that barbiturase contains approximately 4.4 mol of zinc per mol of enzyme. The homotetrameric enzyme had K(m) and V(max) values of 1.0 mm and 2.5 micromol/min/mg of protein, respectively, for barbituric acid. The enzyme specifically acted on barbituric acid, and dihydro-l-orotate, alloxan, and cyanuric acid competitively inhibited its activity. The full-length gene encoding the barbiturase (bar) was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The kinetic parameters and physicochemical properties of the cloned enzyme were apparently similar to those of the wild-type. << Less
