ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.1.79

Accepted Name
2-methylcitrate dehydratase
Alternative Name(s)
2-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase
2-methylcitrate hydro-lyase
Reaction catalysed
(2S,3S)-2-methylcitrate <=> 2-methyl-cis-aconitate + H2O
Comment(s)
  • Specific for (2S,3S)-methylcitrate, showing no activity with (2R,3S)- methylcitrate.
  • Can also use cis-aconitate as a substrate but more slowly.
  • Both this enzyme and EC 4.2.1.3 are required to complete the isomerization of (2S,3S)-methylcitrate to (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate.
