| Accepted name: |
methylisocitrate lyase |
| Reaction: |
(2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate = succinate + pyruvate |
| Glossary: |
(2S,3R)-2-methylisocitrate = (2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate = threo-Ds-2-methylisocitrate |
| Other name(s): |
2-methylisocitrate lyase; MICL; (2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate pyruvate-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
(2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate pyruvate-lyase (succinate-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme acts on threo-Ds-2-methylisocitrate, but not on threo-Ds-isocitrate, threo-DL-isocitrate or erythro-Ls-isocitrate. |
