for IPMI small subunit 1, no plants homozygous for the T-DNA allele can be obtained in either analyzed line (ipmi ssu1-1 or ipmi ssu1-2); homozygous ipmi 3-1mutants can be established. In leaves and seeds of the ipmi ssu3-1 mutant few significant changes in amino acid content. Met levels are unchanged in ipmi ssu3-1 and S-methylmethionine can not be detected; homozygous ipmi ssu2-1 mutants can be established. Free amino acid content of the leaves and seeds of ipmi ssu2-1 plants is not substantially different from that of the wild-type. S-methylmethionine is not detectable in the ipmi ssu2-1 mutant. Profile of the methionine-derived glucosinolates in leaves of ipmi ssu2-1 does not show substantial variations from that of wild-type plants; in leaves, ipmi lsu1-2 plants exhibit the weakest chemical phenotype in comparison to wild-type: transport or storage form of Met is barely detectable. Many more changes between the ipmi lsu1-1 and 1-3 plants and wild-type: accumulation of S-methylmethionine in rosette leaves of both mutants which is accompanied by 2fold increased levels of Met. Average 2-isopropylmalate content of 0.42 and 0.02 mg/g dry weight in leaves of ipmi lsu1-3 and ipmi lsu1-1 mutants, respectively, while this metabolite is undetectable in the ipmi lsu1-2 plants. Relative levels of 2-(3'-methylsulfinyl)propylmalate are 10/1/14 in ipmi lsu1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 plants; isopropylmalate isomerase (IPMI) large subunit mutants reveal accumulation of intermediates of both Leu biosynthesis and Met chain elongation, and an altered composition of aliphatic glucosinolates demonstrating the function of this gene in both pathways In contrast, the small subunits appear to be specialized to either Leu biosynthesis, EC 4.2.1.133, or Met chain elongation, EC 4.2.1.170, metabolic profiling, overview. In large subunit single gene knockout mutant IPMI, the remaining IPMI LSU1 transcript is sufficient for some biosynthesis of Met-derived aliphatic glucosinolates and maintaining Leu levels comparable to wild-type plants

metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the leucine biosynthesis. The formation of leucine requires a three-step chain elongation, including a condensation of a 2-oxo acid with acetyl-CoA, an isomerization and an oxidation-decarboxylation, catalyzed by isopropylmalate synthase (IPMS), isopropylmalate isomerase (IPMI, also called a dehydratase) and isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH), respectively. Leu biosynthesis is then completed by a transamination step catalyzed by a branched-chain aminotransferase that could be also involved in the formation of the other branched-chain amino acids. The large IPMI subunit is involved in both Leu and glucosinolate metabolism, while the small subunits appear to be specific for each pathway
metabolism
-
isopropylmalate isomerase large subunit and small subunits form heterodimers to catalyze the isomerization of 2-isopropylmalate to 3-isopropylmalate in leucine biosynthesis in bacteria and archaea. Reverse genetics and metabolite profiling show that AtLeuD1 and AtLeuD2 function redundantly in aliphatic glucosinolate biosynthesis, but AtLeuD3 is not likely to be involved in this pathway

an intact IPMI small subunit 1 gene seems to be crucial for the development of mature viable seeds; function of IPMI large subunit 1 in both the biosynthesis of Leu and in the Met chain elongation pathway of glucosinolate formation

-
isopropylmalate isomerase large subunit and small subunits form heterodimers to catalyze the isomerization of 2-isopropylmalate to 3-isopropylmalate in leucine biosynthesis in bacteria and archaea. AtLeuD3 plays an essential role in leucine biosynthesis and female gametophyte development
physiological function
-
the small subunit 1 of the Arabidopsis isopropylmalate isomerase is required for normal growth and development and the early stages of glucosinolate formation

in ipmi ssu2-1 plants, absence of mature mRNAs in homozygous plants and the knockout of these genes by T-DNAs; in ipmi ssu3-1 plants, absence of mature mRNAs in homozygous plants and the knockout of these genes by T-DNAs; in the ipmilsu1-2mutant mRNA levels are reduced to 65 and 50% of the wild-type standard in seedlings and rosette leaves, respectively, while IPMI large subunit 1 transcript levels are reduced to 40 and 27% of wild-type in these tissues of ipmi lsu1-1 plants. Strongest reduction in ipmi lsu1-3 seedlings (21% of wild-type), while the IPMI large subunit 1 mRNA level in ipmi lsu1-3 reaches about 29% of the wild-type level in leaves

G456D
-
mutation in the 3-isopropylmalate dehydratase large subunit gene (leuC). Introduction of the leuC mutation into a defined L-lysine producer, AHD-2 (hom59 and lysC311), by allelic replacement leads to the phenotype of a partial requirement for L-leucine and approximately 14% increased L-lysine production
