3-methylcrotonyl-CoA:carboxylase (MCC) is an enzyme crucial in the breakdown of the branched chain amino acid leucine. Methylcrotonoyl-CoA carbox-ylase ? chain (MCCA), also designated 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase 1, is located in the mitochondrial matrix. MCCA functions as a heterodimer and catalyzes the carboxylation of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA to form 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA. MCCA has a Biotin cofactor. The gene encoding for the 725 amino acid MCCA protein maps to chromosome 3q26-q28 and consists of 19 exons. Defects in this gene are associated with 3-methylcrotonylglycinuria (MCGI), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by muscular hypotonia and atrophy. Human MCC deficiency, also inherited recessively, is characterized by 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA accumulation. Symptoms may be highly variable, ranging from completely asymptomatic to metabolic acidosis and death in infancy.
