NiceZyme View of ENZYME: 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-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate <=> (Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate + H(2)O
Comment(s)
  • Not identical with EC 4.2.1.4.
  • 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.
