Substrates: reaction is likely to be initiated by a water molecule that is first activated by deprotonation. The hydrogen-bonding interactions between the water molecule and residues His7 and His92 would serve to orient the water ideally for attack at C6 of the purine ring. The C-terminal serine residue, Ser108, is in position to form a hydrogen bond to His7 and may indirectly participate in catalysis by inductively activating this residue. Deprotonation of the water by His7 creates a hydroxide nucleophile that attacks C6 of the purine ring, leading to a tetrahedral oxyanion intermediate. The charge on the resulting oxyanion would be stabilized by the positively charged guanidinium group of Arg41. Arg41 from the neighboring chain helps to stabilize the charge on the oxyanion intermediate.Collapse of the oxyanion would then lead to ring opening, with the final proton coming from the nearby Arg41. The original proton abstracted from a water molecule by His7 would then be transferred to Arg41 to complete the catalytic cycle Products: -

addition of 3His to the N-terminal end weakens 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolysis activity, whereas it enhanced T3-binding activity of R54E/Y119T mutsant enzyme

point mutation Y98Cin the gene encoding mouse HIU hydrolase, Urah, results in undetectable protein expression. Mice homozygous for this mutation develop elevated platelet counts secondary to excess thrombopoietin production and hepatomegaly. The majority of homozygous mutant mice also develop hepatocellular carcinoma, and tumor development is accelerated by exposure to radiation
the enzyme belongs to the 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase/transthyretin superfamily: evolutionary and functional analyses, overview. Teleosts have highly diverged genomes that resulted from whole genome duplication, which leads to an extensive diversity of paralogous genes. Transthyretin, an extracellular thyroid hormone binding protein, is thought to have evolved from an ancestral 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase by gene duplication at some stage of chordate evolution. Phylogenetic analysis of the teleost aa sequences reveals the presence of two HIUHase subfamilies, HIUHase 1 (which has an N-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal-2) and HIUHase 2 (which does not have an N-terminal PTS2), and one transthyretin family
sequential molecular events of functional trade-offs in 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase before and after gene duplication led to the evolution of transthyretin during chordate diversification
