Mitochondrial 3-hydroxymethyl-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase that catalyzes a cation-dependent cleavage of (S)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA into acetyl-CoA and acetoacetate, a key step in ketogenesis. Terminal step in leucine catabolism. Ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate and acetone) are essential as an alternative source of energy to glucose, as lipid precursors and as regulators of metabolism.

Data suggest that HMGCS1 (HMG-CoA synthase 1) signals through ketogenesis/acetoacetate to promote cell proliferation and BRAF(V600E)-dependent MEK1 activation in BRAF(V600E)-positive melanoma and colon cancer cells; HMGCS1 co-localizes with HMGCL (HMG-CoA lyase) and BRAF(V600E) in cytosol of melanoma and colon cancer cells. (BRAF = proto-oncogene protein B-raf) PMID: 28468827
The genetic analysis revealed a novel homozygote deletion in exon 3 and 4 in HMGCL gene. HMG-CoA lyase deficiency should be thought in the patients with hypoketotic hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia, elevated liver function tests, noncompaction left ventricle and characteristic white matter changes and in the differential diagnosis of macrocephaly.

this is the first study describing HMGCL deficiency caused by uniparental disomy. PMID: 25872961
This efficient UPLC-MS/MS assay permits rapid and high sensitive determination of HMGCR enzyme activity, tracing potential alterations in cholesterol biosynthesis. PMID: 24333427
in the 2 stop codon mutations c.109G>T and c.504_505delCT studied, the stop codon does not appear to be the cause of aberrant splicing; the mutation c.504_505delCT causes 2 mRNA transcripts with a stop codon that generate two simultaneous nonsense-mediated mRNA decay phenomena PMID: 23465862

An alternative transcript of HMGCS2 carrying a deletion of exon 4, and two alternative transcripts of HMGCL with deletions of exons 5 and 6, and exons 5, 6 and 7, respectively, were detected. PMID: 21952825
levels of enzyme activity do not strongly correlate with formation of inter-subunit adducts by HMGCL mutants. C170S, C266S, and C323S proteins do not form inter-subunit disulfide adducts but such an adduct is restored in the C170S/C174S double mutant. PMID: 21514269
Crystal structures of ternary complexes of WT HMGCL with the competitive inhibitor 3-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA and of the catalytically deficient HMGCL R41M mutant with substrate HMG-CoA have been determined to 2.4 and 2.2 A. PMID: 20558737
We report on a new case of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria particular by its late onset in a 3-year-old patient. Molecular investigation identified two new sequence modifications in the HMGCL gene: c.494G>A (p.Arg165Gln) and c.820G>A (p.Gly274Arg). PMID: 19932602
The peroxisomal enzyme forms a covalently linked dimeric species upon crosslinking with dibromopropanone or o-phenylenedimaleimide . Cysteine-323 is required for intersubunit covalent crosslinking. PMID: 12464283
A role is suggested for arginine-41 in deprotonation or enolization of acetyldithio-CoA, implicating this residue in the HMG-CoA cleavage reaction chemistry that leads to acetyl-CoA product formation. PMID: 15122894

findings of common mutations in HMGCL have direct implications on rapid molecular diagnosis, prenatal and pre-implantation diagnosis and population based prevention programs directed towards 3HMG in Saudi Arabia. PMID: 17173698
HMG-CoA located on the surface of the enzyme implicates Asn(311) and Lys(313) in substrate binding by establishing polar contacts with phosphate and ribose groups of adenosine, and Lys(48) by contacting the carboxyl group of the panthotenic acid moiety. PMID: 17459752
The unique HMGCL gene mutations exist in Taiwanese 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA lyase deficiency deficiency patients. PMID: 19036343
Finding that all identified missense mutations cause a >95% decrease in the enzyme activity, indicates that the disease appears only in very severe genotypes. PMID: 19177531
Highest expression in liver. Expressed in pancreas, kidney, intestine, testis, fibroblasts and lymphoblasts. Very low expression in brain and skeletal muscle. The relative expression of isoform 2 (at mRNA level) is highest in heart (30%), skeletal muscle
