Protein name

RecName: Full=3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase; EC=1.1.1.85; AltName: Full=3-IPM-DH; AltName: Full=Beta-IPM dehydrogenase; Short=IMDH;

Gene name

leuB

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the oxidation of 3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (3-isopropylmalate) to 3-carboxy-4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate. The product decarboxylates to 4-methyl-2 oxopentanoate (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate + NAD(+) = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + CO(2) + NADH.

COFACTOR: Binds 1 magnesium or manganese ion per subunit (By similarity).

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

SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family. LeuB type 2 subfamily.
