Gene Description

IlvD is the iron-sulfur-dependent dihydroxy-acid dehydratase that dehydrates the IlvC products in both valine and isoleucine biosynthesis. It forms 2-oxoisovalerate or 3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate for terminal transamination by IlvE.

Existing Annotations Review

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000287 magnesium ion binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000104
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Magnesium binding is a secondary cofactor annotation.
Reason: The reviewed UniProt record includes a magnesium cofactor assignment.
GO:0003824 catalytic activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This generic term is redundant with dihydroxy-acid dehydratase activity.
Reason: GO:0004160 specifies the actual reaction.
GO:0004160 dihydroxy-acid dehydratase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: This is the specific IlvD catalytic function.
Reason: EC 4.2.1.9 and the IlvD-specific HAMAP/NCBIfam assignments support it.
Supporting Evidence:
file:PSEPK/ilvD/ilvD-uniprot.txt
Full=Dihydroxy-acid dehydratase
GO:0005829 cytosol
IEA
GO_REF:0000118
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Cytosol is plausible for this soluble bacterial pathway enzyme.
Reason: Location is compatible but not the defining function.
GO:0009082 branched-chain amino acid biosynthetic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This broad process is redundant with valine and isoleucine branch calls.
Reason: IlvD has explicit pathway placement in both branches.
GO:0009099 L-valine biosynthetic process
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: IlvD catalyzes step 3 of valine biosynthesis.
Reason: The reviewed UniProt pathway record explicitly assigns this role.
GO:0016836 hydro-lyase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: This broad chemistry term is redundant with GO:0004160.
Reason: The exact dihydroxy-acid substrate is already represented.
GO:0051537 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000104
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The catalytic 2Fe-2S cluster is valid mechanistic information.
Reason: UniProt assigns a single 2Fe-2S cluster to the IlvD family.
GO:1901705 L-isoleucine biosynthetic process
IEA
file:PSEPK/ilvD/ilvD-uniprot.txt
NEW
Summary: IlvD also catalyzes step 3 of isoleucine biosynthesis.
Reason: The reviewed UniProt pathway record explicitly assigns this branch.

IlvD curation notes

2026-07-17 OpenScientist retrieval

The gene-level OpenScientist request for PSEPK IlvD (Q88CQ2/PP_5128)
reached the provider's 3600-second service ceiling and was cancelled without
producing a report. No provider-named deep-research file was created. This
first-pass review therefore remains grounded in the exact UniProt reaction,
cofactor, and family record plus the successful module/pathway/taxon
OpenScientist report for branched-chain amino-acid biosynthesis.
