UniProt functional annotation for Q71Y35

UniProt code: Q71Y35.

Organism: Listeria monocytogenes serotype 4b (strain F2365).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Listeriaceae; Listeria.
 
Function: Catalyzes the condensation of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA with 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (2-oxoisovalerate) to form 3-carboxy-3- hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (2-isopropylmalate). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01025}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + acetyl-CoA + H2O = (2S)-2- isopropylmalate + CoA + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:21524, ChEBI:CHEBI:1178, ChEBI:CHEBI:11851, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288; EC=2.3.3.13; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01025};
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 1/4. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01025}.
Subunit: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01025}.
Similarity: Belongs to the alpha-IPM synthase/homocitrate synthase family. LeuA type 1 subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01025}.
