2-isopropylmalate synthase; Catalyzes the condensation of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA with 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (2-oxoisovalerate) to form 3-carboxy-3- hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (2-isopropylmalate); Belongs to the alpha-IPM synthase/homocitrate synthase family. LeuA type 1 subfamily.

Acetolactate synthase catalytic subunit; Involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Catalyzes an alkyl-migration followed by a ketol-acid reduction of (S)-2-acetolactate (S2AL) to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate. In the isomerase reaction, S2AL is rearranged via a Mg-dependent methyl migration to produce 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-ketobutyrate (HMKB). In the reductase reaction, this 2-ketoacid undergoes a metal-dependent reduction by NADPH to yield (R)-2,3-dihydroxy-isovalerate.

Catalyzes the formation of 2-acetolactate from pyruvate in stationary phase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the TPP enzyme family.

Dihydroxy-acid dehydratase; Catalyzes the dehydration of 2,3-dihydroxy-3-methylbutanoate to 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate in valine and isoleucine biosynthesis; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the IlvD/Edd family.

Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the anaerobic formation of alpha-ketobutyrate and ammonia from threonine in a two-step reaction. The first step involved a dehydration of threonine and a production of enamine intermediates (aminocrotonate), which tautomerizes to its imine form (iminobutyrate). Both intermediates are unstable and short-lived. The second step is the nonenzymatic hydrolysis of the enamine/imine intermediates to form 2- ketobutyrate and free ammonia. In the low water environment of the cell, the second step is accelerated by RidA.

Threonine dehydratase; Catalyzes the formation of 2-oxobutanoate from L-threonine; catabolic; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Converts isocitrate to alpha ketoglutarate; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Citrate synthase; Catalyzes the formation of citrate from acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

IMP dehydrogenase; Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. Belongs to the IMPDH/GMPR family.
