Ureidoglycolate is converted to glyoxylate and urea by AllA, which is not required for allantoin catabolism (Cusa, 1999; Werner, 2010). The crystal structure of AllA from E. coli O157:H7 (PDB:1YQC) differs from K-12 at a single position, C51R (Raymond, 2005). The crystal structure of AllA from Shigella flexneri (PDB:1XSR) differs from K-12 at a single position, C51R. AllA has long been misannotated as ureidoglycolate hydrolase in many database entries and publications (Percudani, 2013).
