ID   4.2.1.79
DE   2-methylcitrate dehydratase.
AN   2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase.
AN   2-methylcitrate hydro-lyase.
CA   (2S,3S)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate = (Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-
CA   tricarboxylate + H(2)O.
CC   -!- Not identical with EC 4.2.1.4.
CC   -!- Specific for (2S,3S)-methylcitrate, showing no activity with (2R,3S)-
CC       methylcitrate.
CC   -!- Can also use cis-aconitate as a substrate but more slowly.
CC   -!- Both this enzyme and EC 4.2.1.3 are required to complete the
CC       isomerization of (2S,3S)-methylcitrate to (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate.
