3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA hydrolase
Hydrolyses 3-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA (HIBYL-CoA), a saline catabolite. Has high activity toward isobutyryl-CoA. Could be an isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase that functions in valine catabolism. Also hydrolyses 3-hydroxypropanoyl-CoA. Involved in the pathway L-valine degradation, which is part of Amino-acid degradation. A member of the crotonase superfamily.

Enzyme Reaction (EC:3.1.2.4)
Enzyme Mechanism
Introduction
Glu169 nucleophilicly attacks the carboxylate group on the substrate to generate an anhydride intermediate. This is facilitated by the binding of the thioester oxygen atom to an oxyanion hole formed by the peptide nitrogens of Gly98 and of Gly146. The anhydride intermediate undergoes internal elimination to produce CoA and an intermediate. A water molecule, activated by Asp177A, attacks the carbonyl carbon of the covalently attached Glu169A. The final intermediate undergoes internal elimination to liberate the Glu169A and producing 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate.

| Gly146 (main-N), Gly98 (main-N) | Gly146(116)A (main-N), Gly98(68)A (main-N) | Forms an oxyanion hole that stabilises the reactive intermediates and transition states formed during the course of the reaction. | hydrogen bond donor, electrostatic stabiliser |
| Glu169 | Glu169(139)A | Acts as a catalytic nucleophile. It attacks the carbonyl group of the CoA substrate and is eliminated by Asp177 activated water | covalently attached, hydrogen bond donor, nucleophile, polar interaction, proton donor, activator, electrofuge, electrophile |
| Asp177 | Asp177(147)A | Acts as a general acid/base. It first donates a proton to the CoA leaving group and then abstracts a proton from the catalytic water to initiate the cleavage of the enzyme-substrate bond formed. | hydrogen bond acceptor, hydrogen bond donor, proton acceptor, proton donor, increase acidity |
