Accepted name: (R)-2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase
Reaction: (R)-2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA = (E)-glutaconyl-CoA + H2O
Other name(s): hgdAB (gene names)
Systematic name: (R)-2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA hydro-lyase ((E)-glutaconyl-CoA-forming)
Comments: The enzymes from the bacteria Acidaminococcus fermentans and Clostridium symbiosum are involved in the fermentation of L-glutamate. The enzyme contains [4Fe-4S] clusters, FMNH2 and riboflavin. It must be activated by an activator protein. Once activated, it can catalyse many turnovers.
