Abstract

Background: Allophanate hydrolase (AH) is essential for urea utilization in many organisms. Results: We determined the crystal structure of the Kluyveromyces lactis AH and performed mechanistic studies. Conclusion: Our work revealed that the AH N and C domains catalyze sequential reactions and provided insights into their catalysis. Significance: The catalytic mechanism of the C domain might expand the knowledge of decarboxylation reactions. © 2013 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
