This family of enzymes are a a large metal dependent hydrolase superfamily [1]. The family includes Adenine deaminase EC:3.5.4.2 that hydrolyses adenine to form hypoxanthine and ammonia. Adenine deaminases reaction is important for adenine utilisation as a purine and also as a nitrogen source [2]. This family also includes dihydroorotase and N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylases, EC:3.5.1.25 These enzymes catalyse the reaction N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H2O <=> D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + acetate. This family includes the catalytic domain of urease alpha subunit [3]. Dihydroorotases (EC:3.5.2.3) are also included [4-5].
Isoaspartyl dipeptidase (IAD) from Escherichia coli is a member of the amidohydrolase superfamily. It catalyses the hydrolysis of dipeptides containing a peptide bond to the beta-carboxylate group of aspartic acid. The apparent physiological role of IAD is to prevent the accumulation of beta-aspartyl dipeptides after proteolysis of these proteins. IAD shows little activity towards the hydrolysis of tripeptides or gamma-glutamyl dipeptides.
