Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3-isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate.
Catalytic activity RHEA:32287: (2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate
EC 4.2.1.33
Cofactor [4Fe-4S] cluster
Note: Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster per subunit.
Pathway Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 2/4.
Subunit Heterodimer of LeuC and LeuD.
Similarity Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family. LeuC type 2 subfamily.

Comments The family member in THET2 is shown to function as a homoaconitase (for lysine biosynthesis), as well as one of the 2 copies found in METJA that catalyzes both the dehydration of (R)-homocitrate and the hydration of cis-homoaconitate for coenzyme B biosynthesis. The other copy in METJA functions both in leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, since it catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3-isopropylmalate and between 2-methylmalate and 3-methylmalate. It seems to be impossible to automatically distinguish the large subunit of homoaconitase (HacA) from that of 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase (LeuC).
