Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-Carboxy-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate
Description3-Carboxy-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (CAS: 16048-89-8), also known as 3-isopropylmalic acid, is an intermediate in valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis. It is a substrate for 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (TT_C0867) and can be generated from the reduction of 2-isopropyl-3-oxosuccinate. Leucine biosynthesis involves a five-step conversion process starting with the valine precursor 2-keto-isovalerate. The final step in this pathway is catalyzed by two transaminases of broad specificity: branched-chain amino acid transferase (IlvE) and tyrosine aminotransferase (TyrB). This pathway is part of the super pathway of leucine, valine, and isoleucine biosynthesis that generates not only isoleucine and valine but also leucine.
