General description

Creatinase is a homodimer that catalyzes hydrolysis of creatine. It consists of two monomer subunits and two defined domains; N and C terminal domains. The C-terminal fold has both the α helices and anti-parallel β sheet within two structurally similar domains.In between these two domains, a sulfhydryl group acts as active site, and the activity is metal-independent.

Application

Creatinase mixed with sarcosine oxidase may be used to determine the level of creatine in different pH, temperature, enzyme ratio, and buffer concentration. It may also be used to determine the plasma creatinine level by using a centrifugal analyser.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Creatinase accelerates the conversion reaction of creatine and water molecule to sarcosine and urea. It always acts in homodimer state and is induced by choline chloride.

The crystal structure of Actinobacillus creatine amidinohydrolase has been solved by molecular replacement. The amino-acid sequence has been derived from the crystal structure. Crystals belong to space group I222, with unit-cell parameters a = 111.26 (3), b = 113.62 (4)

Amino acid sequence comparison suggests that the structure of Escherichia coli methionine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.18) and the C-terminal domain of Pseudomonas putida creatinase (EC 3.5.3.3) are related. A detailed comparison of the three-dimensional folds of the two enzymes confirms this

The arginine catabolism gene otaA encoding ornithine transaminase (OTAse) is specifically induced by arginine and is under the control of the broad-domain carbon and nitrogen repression systems. Arginine induction is mediated by a product of arcA gene coding for Zn(2)C(6)
