Identification
Name:(S)-Ureidoglycolic acid
Description(S)-Ureidoglycolic acid is a substrate of enzyme ureidoglycolate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.154] in purine metabolism pathway (KEGG). Enteric bacteria such as E. coli are able to utilize allantoin as a sole source of nitrogen under anaerobic conditions, but cannot utilize it as a sole source of carbon The first step in allantoin degradation is the opening of the aromatic ring, yielding allantoate, performed by allantoinase. In the next step allantoate is hydrolyzed to S-ureidoglycine by allantoate amidohydrolase. Ureidoglycine spontaneously converts to Ureidoglycolate. Ureidoglycolate dehydrogenase then oxidizes ureidoglycolate to oxalurate. It is believed oxalurate is converted into oxamate and carbamoyl-phosphate, which can be further metabolized to CO2, ammonia and ATP.
