- 2-methylcitrate dehydratase
In
enzymology , a 2-methylcitrate dehydratase (EC number|4.2.1.79) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :(2S,3S)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate (Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
(2S,3S)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate , and two products,(Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of
lyase s, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (2S,3S)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase [(Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate-forming] . Other names in common use include 2-methylcitrate hydro-lyase, PrpD, and 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates inpropanoate metabolism .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|1SZQ.
