allantoin degradation IV (anaerobic)
MetaCyc:PWY0-41
The Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 anaerobic route converts S-allantoin through allantoate, S-ureidoglycine, S-ureidoglycolate and oxalurate to oxamate, with carbamoyl phosphate supporting ATP formation by AllK and subsequent spontaneous carbamate breakdown. The formal native endpoint is CO2, not a claim that dissolved inorganic carbon occurs exclusively as CO2. AllB, AllC and AllD have independently identified homomeric assemblies. AllF, AllG and AllH jointly supply OXTCase function; their enables edges preserve component roles without claiming individual sufficiency, a resolved whole-complex stoichiometry, or a formal AND relation. The Mg2+ context node refers to whole-OXTCase assay dependence and AllK assay conditions, not subunit-specific binding. The native mirror predates the 2024 AllFGH assignment and carries a stale AllC Rhea link; current protein and primary evidence resolve those limits. AllD uses NAD+, and alternative metal preparations are qualified at their edges. The separate glyoxylate branch, urea-producing yeast routes, transport, regulation, NADP substitution, bicarbonate hydration, and duplicate combined kinase/decomposition nets are outside this record.

- CREATE — Add the complete anaerobic allantoin-to-oxamate route with joint AllFGH evidence
Created exact MetaCyc PWY0-41 with seven reactions, current AllC plus AllE chemistry, NAD-specific AllD, joint AllFGH gene-product roles, AllK ATP formation and separate spontaneous carbamate decomposition to the native CO2 endpoint. Retained verified AllB/AllC/AllD assemblies, alternative-metal conditions and MG1655 evidence without inventing an AllFGH complex identifier or subunit copy numbers. Native reaction cross-reference conflicts and reverse biochemical assay versus physiological direction are explicit. Author identity, 31-side and seven-balance checks passed; the independent scientific review and full final corpus gates follow before publication. Evidence: research/pathway_additions/2026-10-10-salvage/allantoin-curation.md and allantoin-validation.json.
