LITERATURE
evolution
-
the mutations of the small-subunit HACN protein MJ1271 loop-region may reverse the evolution of HACN activity from an ancestral IPMI gene, demonstrating the evolutionary potential for promiscuity in hydro-lyase enzymes. Understanding these specificity determinants enables the functional reannotation of paralogous HACN and isopropylmalate isomerase, IPMI, genes in numerous genome sequences
malfunction
metabolism
-
the enzyme is involved in the lysine biosynthetic pathway
physiological function
additional information
-
the enzymes' stereospecific hydrolyase activity make it an attractive catalyst to produce diastereomers from unsaturated precursors
