Comments
[?]
| FUNCTION | Catalyzes the condensation of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA with 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (2-ketoisovalerate) to form 3-carboxy-3- hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (2-isopropylmalate). |
| CATALYTIC ACTIVITY | Reaction=3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + acetyl-CoA + H2O = (2S)-2- isopropylmalate + CoA + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21524, ChEBI:CHEBI:1178, ChEBI:CHEBI:11851, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288; EC=2.3.3.13; |
| case <FTGroup:1> | |
| COFACTOR | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; |
| end case | |
| PATHWAY | Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 1/4. |
| SUBUNIT | Homodimer. |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Cytoplasm. |
| SIMILARITY | Belongs to the alpha-IPM synthase/homocitrate synthase family. LeuA type 2 subfamily. |
