Structure of Cyanase Reveals that a Novel Dimeric and Decameric Arrangement of Subunits is Required for Formation of the Enzyme Active Site
Structure, 8:505-, 2000

PubMed Abstract: Cyanase is an enzyme found in bacteria and plants that catalyzes the reaction of cyanate with bicarbonate to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. In Escherichia coli, cyanase is induced from the cyn operon in response to extracellular cyanate. The enzyme is functionally active as a homodecamer of 17 kDa subunits, and displays half-site binding of substrates or substrate analogs. The enzyme shows no significant amino acid sequence homology with other proteins.
