Peroxyureidoacrylate/ureidoacrylate amidohydrolase

Peroxyureidoacrylate/ureidoacrylate amidohydrolase (, RutB) is an enzyme with systematic name (Z)-3-ureidoacrylate peracid amidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction sequences:


 * (Z)-3-ureidoacrylate peracid + H2O ⇌ (Z)-3-peroxyaminoacrylate + CO2 + NH3 (overall reaction)
 * (Z)-3-ureidoacrylate peracid + H2O ⇌ (Z)-3-peroxyaminoacrylate + carbamate
 * carbamate ⇌ CO2 + NH3 (spontaneous)
 * (Z)-2-methylureidoacrylate peracid + H2O ⇌ (Z)-2-methylperoxyaminoacrylate + CO2 + NH3 (overall reaction)
 * (Z)-2-methylureidoacrylate peracid + H2O ⇌ (Z)-2-methylperoxyaminoacrylate + carbamate
 * carbamate ⇌ CO2 + NH3 (spontaneous)

The enzyme also shows activity towards ureidoacrylate.
