ID 4.2.1.157 DE (R)-2-hydroxyisocaproyl-CoA dehydratase. AN 2-hydroxyisocaproyl-CoA dehydratase. CA (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoyl-CoA = 4-methylpent-2-enoyl-CoA + H2O. CC -!- The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Peptoclostridium difficile, CC is involved in the reductive branch of L-leucine fermentation. CC -!- It catalyzes an alpha/beta-dehydration, which depends on the CC reductive formation of ketyl radicals on the substrate generated by CC injection of a single electron from the ATP-dependent activator CC protein HadI.
