FunFam 7: Isopropylmalate/citramalate isomerase small subuni...

There are 5 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
3-isopropylmalate dehydratase. [EC: 4.2.1.33]
(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate.
  • Forms part of the leucine-biosynthesis pathway.
  • Brings about the interconversion of the two isomers of isopropylmalate.

Dimethylmaleate hydratase. [EC: 4.2.1.85]
(2R,3S)-2,3-dimethylmalate = dimethylmaleate + H(2)O.
  • Inhibited by oxygen.
  • Forms part of the nicotinate-fermentation catabolism pathway in Eubacterium barkeri.
  • Other enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 1.17.5.1, EC 1.3.7.1, EC 3.5.2.18, EC 1.1.1.291, EC 5.4.99.4, EC 5.3.3.6 and EC 4.1.3.32.

Maleate hydratase. [EC: 4.2.1.31]
(R)-malate = maleate + H(2)O.
    1 Q58673
    Methanogen homoaconitase. [EC: 4.2.1.114]
    (R)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate = (1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4- tricarboxylate.
    • Catalyzes several reactions in the pathway of coenzyme-B biosynthesis in methanogenic archaea.
    • In contrast to EC 4.2.1.36, this enzyme can catalyze both the dehydration of (R)-homocitrate to form cis-homoaconitate and the subsequent hydration reaction that forms homoisocitrate.
    • In addition to cis-homoaconitate, the enzyme can also catalyze the hydration of the physiological substrates dihomocitrate and trihomocitrate as well as the non-physiological substrate tetrahomocitrate.
    • Cis-aconitate and threo-DL-isocitrate cannot act as substrates, and (S)-homocitrate and trans-homoaconitate act as inhibitors of the enzyme.

    (R)-2-methylmalate dehydratase. [EC: 4.2.1.35]
    (R)-2-methylmalate = 2-methylmaleate + H(2)O.
