Isocitrate dehydrogenase was purified from Hydrogenobacter thermophilus, and the corresponding gene was cloned and sequenced. The enzyme had similar structural properties to the isocitrate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli, but differed in its catalytic properties, such as coenzyme specificity, pH dependency and kinetic parameters. Notably, the enzyme catalysed the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, but not the reductive carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate. The carboxylation reaction required the addition of cell extract and ATP-Mg, suggesting the existence of additional carboxylation factor(s). Further analysis of the carboxylation factor(s) resulted in the purification of two polypeptides. N-terminal amino acid sequencing revealed that the two polypeptides are homologues of pyruvate carboxylase with a biotinylated subunit, but do not catalyse pyruvate carboxylation. Pyruvate carboxylase was also purified, but was not active in stimulating isocitrate dehydrogenase. Isocitrate dehydrogenase, the novel biotin protein, ATP-Mg and NADH were essential for the reductive carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate. These observations indicate that the novel biotin protein is an ATP-dependent factor, which is involved in the reverse (carboxylating) reaction of isocitrate dehydrogenase.

D007521 Isocitrate Dehydrogenase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the conversion of isocitrate and NAD+ to yield 2-ketoglutarate, carbon dioxide, and NADH. It occurs in cell mitochondria. The enzyme requires Mg2+, Mn2+; it is activated by ADP, citrate, and Ca2+, and inhibited by NADH, NADPH, and ATP. The reaction is the key rate-limiting step of the citric acid (tricarboxylic) cycle. (From Dorland, 27th ed) (The NADP+ enzyme is EC 1.1.1.42.) EC 1.1.1.41.

D001419 Bacteria One of the three domains of life (the others being Eukarya and ARCHAEA), also called Eubacteria. They are unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms which generally possess rigid cell walls, multiply by cell division, and exhibit three principal forms: round or coccal, rodlike or bacillary, and spiral or spirochetal. Bacteria can be classified by their response to OXYGEN: aerobic, anaerobic, or facultatively anaerobic; by the mode by which they obtain their energy: chemotrophy (via chemical reaction) or PHOTOTROPHY (via light reaction); for chemotrophs by their source of chemical energy: CHEMOLITHOTROPHY (from inorganic compounds) or chemoorganotrophy (from organic compounds); and by their source for CARBON; NITROGEN; etc.; HETEROTROPHY (from organic sources) or AUTOTROPHY (from CARBON DIOXIDE). They can also be classified by whether or not they stain (based on the structure of their CELL WALLS) with CRYSTAL VIOLET dye: gram-negative or gram-positive. Eubacteria

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
