EC 4.2.1.3

Names

Accepted name:
aconitate hydratase
Other names:
cis-aconitase
aconitase
citrate hydro-lyase
citrate(isocitrate) hydro-lyase
AcnB
2-methylaconitate hydratase
Systematic name:
citrate(isocitrate) hydro-lyase (cis-aconitate-forming)

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

Besides interconverting citrate and cis-aconitate, it also interconverts cis-aconitate with isocitrate and, hence, interconverts citrate and isocitrate. The equilibrium mixture is 91% citrate, 6% isocitrate and 3% aconitate. cis-Aconitate is used to designate the isomer (Z)-prop-1-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate. An iron-sulfur protein, containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster to which the substrate binds.
