aconitase family protein
Members of this family include aconitase (aconitate hydratase), 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, and homoaconitase.
aconitase/3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit family protein
3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit
3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3-isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate
3-isopropylmalate dehydratase/homoaconitate hydratase family large subunit
This subfamily is a subset of the larger HacA family (homoaconitate hydratase family, TIGR01343). Many members of this subfamily are archaeal examples of the 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit, but the family includes additional paralogs that may differ in function as well as proteins characterized as multifunctional.
Homoaconitase, aconitase, and 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase have similar overall structures. All are dehydratases (EC 4.2.1.-) and bind a Fe-4S iron-sulfur cluster. 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase is split into large (leuC) and small (leuD) chains in eubacteria. Several pairs of archaeal proteins resemble the leuC and leuD pair in length and sequence but even more closely resemble the respective domains of homoaconitase, and their identity is uncertain. These homologs are described by a separate model of subfamily (rather than equivalog) homology type (TIGR01343). This model along with TIGR00170 describe clades which consist only of LeuC sequences. Here, the genes from Pyrococcus furiosus, Clostridium acetobutylicum, Thermotoga maritima and others are gene clustered with related genes from the leucine biosynthesis pathway.
homoaconitate hydratase family protein
This HMM represents a subfamily of proteins consisting of aconitase, homoaconitase, 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase, and uncharacterized proteins. The majority of the members of this family have been designated as 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit (LeuC) in microbial genome annotation, but the only characterized member is Thermus thermophilus homoaconitase, an enzyme of a non-aspartate pathway of Lys biosynthesis.
