Q83DG5_COXBU Catalyzes the thermodynamically favored C-C bond cleavage of (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate to yield pyruvate and succinate.[RuleBase:RU361121] Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the 2-methylcitrate cycle (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the thermodynamically favored C-C bond cleavage of (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate to yield pyruvate and succinate via an alpha-carboxy-carbanion intermediate.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01939] Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the thermodynamically favored C-C bond cleavage of (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate to yield pyruvate and succinate via an alpha-carboxy-carbanion intermediate.[ARBA:ARBA00057039]
