| Glossary: | cis-homoaconitate = (Z)-but-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate (R)-homocitrate = (2R)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate homoisocitrate = (-)-threo-homoisocitrate = (1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate |

| Other name(s): | homoaconitase; cis-homoaconitase; HACN; Lys4; LysF; 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase (incorrect) | ||||||
| Systematic name: | (1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase [(Z)-but-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate-forming] | ||||||
| Comments: | Requires a [4Fe-4S] cluster for activity. The enzyme from the hyperthermophilic eubacterium Thermus thermophilus can catalyse the reaction shown above but cannot catalyse the previously described reaction, i.e. formation of (R)-homocitrate by hydration of cis-homoaconitate. The enzyme responsible for the conversion of cis-homoaconitate into (R)-homocitrate in T. thermophilus is unknown at present but the reaction can be catalysed in vitro using aconitate hydratase from pig (EC 4.2.1.3) [2]. | ||||||
