Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus nidulans catabolizes Leu to acetyl-CoA and acetoacetate through a pathway homologous to that used by humans. Fungal hlyA encodes a bifunctional polypeptide comprising the last two enzymes in this pathway, 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase. hlyA transcription is specifically induced by Leu. A Delta hlyA mutation removing the complete 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA...
