In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.31) also known as β-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase or 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial (HIBADH) is an enzyme5 that in humans is encoded by the HIBADH gene.6

3-Hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the chemical reaction:


The two substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxyisobutyric acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are methylmalonic acid semialdehyde, reduced NADH, and a proton.7

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation.

Function

3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase is a tetrameric mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the NAD+-dependent, reversible oxidation of 3-hydroxyisobutyrate, an intermediate of valine catabolism, to methylmalonate semialdehyde.6

Structural studies

As of late 2007, five structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1WP4​, PDB: 2CVZ​, PDB: 2GF2​, PDB: 2H78​, and PDB: 2I9P​.
