Enzymes

General function:
Involved in 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3-isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate
Gene Name:
leuC
Uniprot ID:
P0A6A6
Molecular weight:
49882
Reactions
(2R,3S)-3-isopropylmalate = (2S)-2-isopropylmaleate + H(2)O.
(2S)-2-isopropylmaleate + H(2)O = (2S)-2-isopropylmalate.
General function:
Involved in magnesium ion binding
Specific 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

General function:
Involved in magnesium ion binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the NAD(+)-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of D-malate into pyruvate. Is essential for aerobic growth on D- malate as the sole carbon source. But is not required for anaerobic D-malate utilization, although DmlA is expressed and active in those conditions. Appears to be not able to use L- tartrate as a substrate for dehydrogenation instead of D-malate

Reactions
(R)-malate + NAD(+) = pyruvate + CO(2) + NADH.
