Contents

Function

Homocitrate synthase (HS) participates in lysine biosynthesis and pyruvate metabolism. HS catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA + H2O + 2-oxoglutarate to 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate + CoA[1].

Structural highlights

The HS active site is located in the interior of the N-terminal TIM-barrel domain. The metal ion is octahedrally coordinated to the protein and to the 2-oxoglutarate[2].
