InterPro domain: IPR033932

This entry includes YtcJ_like metal dependent amidohydrolases and homologues. YtcJ is a Bacillus subtilis ORF of unknown function [ 1 ]. The Arabidopsis homologue LAF3 has been identified as a factor required for photochrome A signalling [ 2 ]. This entry also includes N-substituted formamide deformylase nfdA from Arthrobacter pascens [ 3 ].
