Aconitase Definition:

  • An enzyme whose apoprotein form (lacking iron) binds to iron response elements in mRNAs and controls their translation or degradation..

    Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver



Aconitase Notes:

Aconitase is an enzyme, which, in apoprotein form (iron lacking form) binds to the iron response elements in the messenger - RNA, eventually controlling their translation as well as degradation. It is the catalyst for the stereo-specific isomerization of citrate in the non redox active process of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
