Protein name

RecName: Full=3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit; EC=4.2.1.33; AltName: Full=Alpha-IPM isomerase; Short=IPMI; AltName: Full=Isopropylmalate isomerase;

Gene name

leuC

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3-isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = (2S)-2-isopropylmaleate + H(2)O.

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: (2S)-2-isopropylmaleate + H(2)O = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate.

COFACTOR: Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit (By similarity).

PATHWAY: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 2/4.

SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of LeuC and LeuD (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family. LeuC type 1 subfamily.
