HypE (Hydrogenase expression/formation protein). HypE is involved in Ni-Fe hydrogenase biosynthesis. HypE dehydrates its own carbamoyl moiety in an ATP-dependent process to yield the enzyme thiocyanate. The N-terminal domain of HypE is related to the ATP-binding domains of the AIR synthases, selenophosphate synthetase (SelD), and FGAM synthase and is thought to bind ATP.
