urate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxyisourate-forming)

urate + NADH + H+ + O2 = 5-hydroxyisourate + NAD+ + H2O [RN:R09514]

Reaction

urate [CPD:C00366];
NADH [CPD:C00004];
H+ [CPD:C00080];
O2 [CPD:C00007]

A flavoprotein. The reaction is part of the purine catabolic pathway in the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae. The enzyme is different from EC 1.7.3.3, factor-independent urate hydroxylase, found in most plants, which produces hydrogen peroxide. The product of the enzyme is a substrate for EC 3.5.2.17, hydroxyisourate hydrolase.
