DE   methylthioalkylmalate synthase.
CA   acetyl-CoA + an omega-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxoalkanoate + H2O = a 2-(omega-
CA   methylsulfanyl)alkylmalate + CoA + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana,
CC       is involved in the L-methionine side-chain elongation pathway,
CC       forming substrates for the biosynthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates.
CC   -!- Two forms are known - MAM1 catalyzes only only the first two rounds
CC       of methionine chain elongation, while MAM3 catalyzes all six cycles,
CC       up to formation of L-hexahomomethionine.
