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 RHEA:21524: 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + acetyl-CoA + H2O = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate + CoA + H(+)
EC 2.3.3.13
case <FTGroup:1>
Cofactor Mn(2+)
end case
Pathway Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 1/4.
case <OC:Bacteria>
Subunit Homodimer.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the alpha-IPM synthase/homocitrate synthase family. LeuA type 1 subfamily.

Comments Shorter C-terminal in the two copies of leuA in CALS4; not shown in alignment and not taken into account in size range. Many Neisseria can be predicted to be about 80 residues longer. Salmonella typhimurium is thought to be in a monomer-tetramer equilibrium while Neisseria meningitidis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (P9WQB3, MF_00572) are homodimers.
