Human activating signal cointegrator homology (ASCH) domain-containing proteins are widespread and diverse but, at present, the vast majority of those proteins have no function assigned to them. This study demonstrates that the 103-amino acid Escherichia coli protein YqfB, previously identified as hypothetical, is a unique ASCH domain-containing amidohydrolase responsible for the catabolism of N<sup>4</sup>-acetylcytidine (ac4C). YqfB has several interesting and unique features: i) it is the smallest monomeric amidohydrolase described to date, ii) it is active towards structurally different N<sup>4</sup>-acylated cytosines/cytidines, and iii) it has a high specificity for these substrates (k<sub>cat</sub>/K<sub>m</sub> up to 2.8 × 10<sup>6</sup> M<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>). Moreover, our results suggest that YqfB contains a unique Thr-Lys-Glu catalytic triad, and Arg acting as an oxyanion hole. The mutant lacking the yqfB gene retains the ability to grow, albeit poorly, on N<sup>4</sup>-acetylcytosine as a source of uracil, suggesting that an alternative route for the utilization of this compound exists in E. coli. Overall, YqfB ability to hydrolyse various N<sup>4</sup>-acylated cytosines and cytidines not only sheds light on the long-standing mystery of how ac4C is catabolized in bacteria, but also expands our knowledge of the structural diversity within the active sites of amidohydrolases. << Less
