Metabolite Identification
Common Namecis-homoaconitate
Descriptioncis-homoaconitate is a tricarboxylic acid metabolite that belongs to the chemical class of aconitate derivatives. Its chemical structure features a cis configuration with three carboxyl groups, making it a key intermediate in various biochemical pathways. In the lysine biosynthetic pathway, cis-homoaconitate is produced from (R)-homocitrate, catalyzed by enzymes such as Lys7p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (PMID:9490044 ). This compound can then be hydrated to form homoisocitrate, a reaction facilitated by the enzyme HACN, although the dehydration of (R)-homocitrate to cis-homoaconitate has not been observed in vitro (PMID:16524361 ). Additionally, cis-homoaconitate participates in the conversion to (-)-threo-isohomocitrate, which undergoes further transformation to alpha-ketoadipate through a NADP+-dependent oxidative decarboxylation (PMID:9665716 ). The enzymatic activities involving cis-homoaconitate highlight its role as a crucial intermediary in metabolic pathways, particularly those related to amino acid synthesis and energy metabolism (PMID:18765671 ).
