cl00281: metallo-dependent_hydrolases Superfamily (this model, PSSM-Id:412281 is obsolete and has been replaced by 469705)
Superfamily of metallo-dependent hydrolases (also called amidohydrolase superfamily) is a large group of proteins that show conservation in their 3-dimensional fold (TIM barrel) and in details of their active site. The vast majority of the members have a conserved metal binding site, involving four histidines and one aspartic acid residue. In the common reaction mechanism, the metal ion (or ions) deprotonate a water molecule for a nucleophilic attack on the substrate. The family includes urease alpha, adenosine deaminase, phosphotriesterase dihydroorotases, allantoinases, hydantoinases, AMP-, adenine and cytosine deaminases, imidazolonepropionase, aryldialkylphosphatase, chlorohydrolases, formylmethanofuran dehydrogenases and others.
