Identification and characterization of an aliphatic amidase in Helicobacter pylori.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 1997

Skouloubris S, Labigne A, De Reuse H

Abstract excerpt

We report, for the first time, the presence in Helicobacter pylori of an aliphatic amidase that, like urease, contributes to ammonia production. Aliphatic amidases are cytoplasmic acylamide amidohydrolases (EC 3.5.1.4) hydrolysing short-chain aliphatic amides to produce ammonia and the corresponding organic acid. The finding of an aliphatic amidase in H. pylori was unexpected as this enzyme has only previously...
