KEGG   ENZYME: 3.5.4.45
Entry
EC 3.5.4.45                 Enzyme                                 
Name
melamine deaminase;
triA (gene name)
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds;
In cyclic amidines
Sysname
melamine aminohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) melamine + H2O = ammeline + NH3 [RN:R06968];
(2) ammeline + H2O = ammelide + NH3 [RN:R06969]
Reaction(KEGG)
R06968 R06969
Substrate
melamine [CPD:C08737];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
ammeline [CPD:C08733]
Product
ammeline [CPD:C08733];
NH3 [CPD:C00014];
ammelide [CPD:C08734]
Comment
The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Acidovorax citrulli, performs the deamination of melamine 15-fold faster than the deamination of ammeline. It also has activity with 2-chloro-4,6-diamino-s-triazine, but has no activity toward halo-substituted triazine ring compounds such as atrazine (cf. EC 3.8.1.8, atrazine chlorohydrolase).
