| Organism: | Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440) (Methanococcus jannaschii). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomada group; Methanococci; Methanococcales; Methanocaldococcaceae; Methanocaldococcus. | |
| Function: | Enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes reversible hydroxyacid isomerizations via dehydration/hydration reactions. Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3- isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate, a step involved in leucine biosynthesis. Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-methylmalate and 3-methylmalate, via the formation of 2-methylmaleate (citraconate), a step involved in isoleucine biosynthesis. Also displays malease activity, i.e. catalyzes the hydration of maleate to form (R)-malate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17449626}. | |
