Description
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).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
homoaconitase; cis-homoaconitase; HACN; Lys4; LysF; 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase (incorrect)
Reaction
(1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate = (Z)-but-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate + H2O
