EC 4.2.1.104 Details
EC number
4.2.1.104
Accepted name
cyanase
Reaction
cyanate + hydrogencarbonate + 2 H+ = NH3 + 2 CO2 (overall reaction);;(1a) cyanate + hydrogencarbonate + H+ = carbamate + CO2;;(1b) carbamate + H+ = NH3 + CO2 (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
cyanate lyase, cyanate hydrolase, cyanate aminohydrolase, cyanate C-N-lyase, cyanate hydratase
Systematic name
carbamate hydro-lyase
CAS registry number
37289-24-0
Comment
This enzyme, which is found in bacteria and plants, is used to decompose cyanate, which can be used as the sole source of nitrogen [6,7]. Reaction (1a) can be considered an equivalent of 'cyanate + H2O = carbamate', where the water molecule is provided by the dehydration of bicarbonate to carbon dioxide [2], and hence the enzyme is classified as a hydrolase.
History
created 1972 as EC 3.5.5.3, transferred 1990 to EC 4.3.99.1, transferred 2001 to EC 4.2.1.104, modified 2007
