Enzyme Information

4.2.1.114
Methanogen homoaconitase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q58409
(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.
