The metabolic pathway of 1-methylhydantoin (2) via 5-hydroxy-1-methylhydantoin (3), methylparabanic acid (4) and N5-methyloxaluric acid (5) proved to be a major and general one in mammals. Hence the formation of (3), which has not been detected in normal tissue, is

1-Methylhydantoin is produced by bacterial creatinine deaminase in the intestinal tract of uremic patients and retaken up into the body. The present study was designed to explore the toxic effect of 1-methylhydantoin on renal proximal tubular cells in vitro. HK-2

We developed a thin-film enzymic assay for creatinine that makes use of creatinine iminohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.21) to convert creatinine to N-methylhydantoin and ammonia. The ammonia diffuses through a semipermeable layer and is quantitated by reaction with bromphenol blue. A paired

A new enzyme, N-methylhydantoin amidohydrolase, was highly purified from Pseudomonas putida 77: it catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-methylhydantoin to N-carbamoylsarcosine with the concomitant stoichiometric cleavage of ATP to ADP and orthophosphate. The enzyme absolutely requires ATP, MG2+ and K+ for
