3-isopropylmalate dehydratase small subunit; Catalyzes the isomerization between 2-isopropylmalate and 3- isopropylmalate, via the formation of 2-isopropylmaleate. Belongs to the LeuD family. LeuD type 1 subfamily.

Acetolactate synthase small subunit; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family.

Acetolactate synthase large subunit; catalyzes the formation of 2-acetolactate from pyruvate; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

Ketol-acid reductoisomerase; 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.

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.

Acetolactate synthase; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology; Belongs to the TPP enzyme family.

Alpha-ketoglutarate decarboxylase; Kgd; produces succinic semialdehyde; part of alternative pathway from alpha-ketoglutarate to succinate; essential for normal growth; Derived by automated computational analysis using gene prediction method: Protein Homology.

succinate--CoA ligase subunit beta; Succinyl-CoA synthetase functions in the citric acid cycle (TCA), coupling the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA to the synthesis of either ATP or GTP and thus represents the only step of substrate-level phosphorylation in the TCA. The beta subunit provides nucleotide specificity of the enzyme and binds the substrate succinate, while the binding sites for coenzyme A and phosphate are found in the alpha subunit.
