Alloisoleucine is an amino acid with the formula CH₃CH₂CH(CH₃)CH(NH₂)CO₂H. It is the diastereomer of isoleucine, differing in the stereochemistry within the side chain. Alloisoleucine exists as two enantiomers, of which the L isomer occurs naturally. L-Alloisoleucine occurs in healthy serum in only trace amounts, except for individuals suffering from maple syrup urine disease. ^[1]

Structure

Together with valine, leucine, and isoleucine, alloisoleucine is classified as a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA). The L enantiomer of valine, leucine, and isoleucine are proteinogenic amino acids; alloisoleucine is non-proteinogenic.

l-isoleucine (2S,3S) and d-isoleucine (2R,3R)

l-alloisoleucine (2S,3R) and d-alloisoleucine (2R,3S)

Role in biosynthesis

L-Alloisoleucine is a precursor to coronatine, a phytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae . ^[2]
