DE   (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate CoA-transferase.
CA   (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate + 4-methylpentanoyl-CoA = (R)-2-hydroxy-
CA   4-methylpentanoyl-CoA + 4-methylpentanoate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Peptoclostridium
CC       difficile, participates in an L-leucine fermentation pathway.
CC   -!- The reaction proceeds via formation of a covalent anhydride
CC       intermediate between a conserved aspartate residue and the acyl group
CC       of the CoA thioester substrate.
