UniProt functional annotation for P9WKK9

UniProt code: P9WKK9.

Organism: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain ATCC 25618 / H37Rv).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Actinobacteria; Corynebacteriales; Mycobacteriaceae; Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
 
Function: Catalyzes the oxidation of 3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-4- methylpentanoate (3-isopropylmalate) to 3-carboxy-4-methyl-2- oxopentanoate. The product decarboxylates to 4-methyl-2 oxopentanoate.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate + NAD(+) = 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate + CO2 + NADH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32271, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:17865, ChEBI:CHEBI:35121, ChEBI:CHEBI:57540, ChEBI:CHEBI:57945; EC=1.1.1.85;
Cofactor: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000250};
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 3/4.
Subunit: Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15663922}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Similarity: Belongs to the isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family. LeuB type 2 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
