EC 4.2.1.170 Details
EC number
4.2.1.170
Accepted name
2-(ω-methylthio)alkylmalate dehydratase
Reaction
(1) a 2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]malate = a 2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]maleate + H2O;;(2) a 3-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]malate = a 2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]maleate + H2O
Other name(s)
IPMI (gene name), 2-[(ω-methylthio)alkyl]malate hydro-lyase (2-[(ω-methylthio)alkyl]maleate-forming)
Systematic name
2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]malate hydro-lyase (2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]maleate-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, is involved in the L-methionine side-chain elongation pathway, forming substrates for the biosynthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates. By catalysing a dehydration of a 2-[(ω-methylsulfanyl)alkyl]maleate, followed by a hydration at a different position, the enzyme achieves the isomerization of its substrates. The enzyme is a heterodimer comprising a large and a small subunits. The large subunit can also bind to an alternative small subunit, forming EC 4.2.1.33, 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, which participates in L-leucine biosynthesis.
