HS catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA + H2O + 2-oxoglutarate to 2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate + CoA. Structural highlights The HS active site is located in the interior of the N-terminal TIM-barrel domain. The metal ion is octahedrally coordinated to the protein and to the 2-oxoglutarate.
