EC 2.8.3.24     
Accepted name: (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate CoA-transferase
Reaction: 4-methylpentanoyl-CoA + (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate = 4-methylpentanoate + (R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoyl-CoA
Glossary: 4-methylpentanoate = isocaproate
Other name(s): hadA (gene name)
Systematic name: 4-methylpentanoyl-CoA:(R)-2-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate CoA-transferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Peptoclostridium difficile, participates in an L-leucine fermentation pathway. The reaction proceeds via formation of a covalent anhydride intermediate between a conserved aspartate residue and the acyl group of the CoA thioester substrate.
