EC 2.3.1.126

Reaction: caffeoyl-CoA + isocitrate = CoA + 2-O-caffeoylisocitrate

2-O-caffeoylisocitrate = (1R,2S)-1-{[3-(E)-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acryloyl]oxy}propane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate = (3S,4R)-3-carboxy-2,3-dideoxy-4-O-[(2E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]pentarate isocitrate = (1R,2S)-1-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate = threo-D_s-isocitrate

Systematic name: caffeoyl-CoA:isocitrate 2-O-(3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl)transferase

Comments: Feruloyl-CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA can also act as donors.
