EC 4.2.1.3     
Accepted name: aconitate hydratase
Reaction: citrate = isocitrate (overall reaction)
(1a) citrate = cis-aconitate + H2O
(1b) cis-aconitate + H2O = isocitrate

Glossary: isocitrate = (1R,2S)-1-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate (previously known as threo-Ds-isocitrate)
cis-aconitate = (Z)-prop-1-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate
Other name(s): cis-aconitase; aconitase; AcnB; 2-methylaconitate hydratase; citrate(isocitrate) hydro-lyase
Systematic name: citrate(isocitrate) hydro-lyase (cis-aconitate-forming)
Comments: Besides interconverting citrate and cis-aconitate, it also interconverts cis-aconitate with isocitrate and, hence, interconverts citrate and isocitrate. The equilibrium mixture is 91% citrate, 6% isocitrate and 3% aconitate. cis-Aconitate is used to designate the isomer (Z)-prop-1-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate. An iron-sulfur protein, containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster to which the substrate binds.
