Mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase and isocitrate oxidation of rat ventral prostate.

Mitochondrial preparations isolated from rat ventral prostate were capable of oxidizing isocitrate by way of NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH) and NAD-IDH. NAD-IDH activity required ADP for activation. The pH responses for NAD-IDH and NADP-IDH were quite different. The results indicated that two different enzymes were involved in the NAD- and NADP-IDH activities. Indirect evidence indicated that NADPH-NAD transhydrogenase activity might also be involved in the mitochondrial pathway for isocitrate oxidation. NADP-IDH activity was significantly greater than NAD-IDH activity. The oxidation of isocitrate through IDH activity was coupled to the cytochrome system by NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase activities. Citrate, via isocitrate, oxidation proceeded at a much slower rate suggesting that aconitase activity could be limiting in the oxidation of citrate. In comparison to other tissues, the prostate oxidative enzyme activities are considerably lower. The results suggest that the accumulation of high prostate citrate levels is not due to a limitation imposed by a lack of IDH activity in prostate mitochondria.

Aluminum triggers decreased aconitase activity via Fe-S cluster disruption and the overexpression of isocitrate dehydrogenase and isocitrate lyase: a metabolic network mediating cellular survival.

Although aluminum is known to be toxic to most organisms, its precise biochemical interactions are not fully understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that aluminum promotes the inhibition of aconitase (Acn) activity via the perturbation of the Fe-S cluster in Pseudomonas fluorescens. Despite the significant decrease in citrate isomerization activity, cellular survival is assured by the overexpression of isocitrate lyase and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-NADP+. 13C NMR spectroscopic studies, Blue Native PAGE, and Western blot analyses indicated that although the decrease in Acn activity is concomitant with the increase of aluminum in the culture, the amount of Acn expressed is not sensitive to the concentration of the trivalent metal. A 6-fold decrease in Acn activity and no discernable change in protein content in aluminum-stressed cultures were observed. The addition of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2 in a reducing environment led to a significant recovery in Acn activity. This enzymatic activity reverted to normal levels when aluminum-stressed cells were transferred to either a control or an iron-supplemented medium. The overexpression of the two isocitrate-metabolizing enzymes isocitrate lyase and IDH-NADP+ appears to mitigate the deficit in Acn activity. The levels of these enzymes are dependent on the aluminum content of the culture and appear to be under transcriptional control. Hence, the regulation of the enzymes involved in the homeostasis of isocitrate constitutes a pivotal component of the global metabolic strategy that ensures the survival of this organism in an aluminum citrate environment.

Structure of isocitrate dehydrogenase with isocitrate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and calcium at 2.5-A resolution: a pseudo-Michaelis ternary complex.

The structure of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) with a bound complex of isocitrate, NADP+, and Ca2+ was solved at 2.5-A resolution and compared by difference mapping against previously determined enzymatic complexes. Calcium replaces magnesium in the binding of metal-substrate chelate complex, resulting in a substantially reduced turnover rate. The structure shows the following: (i) A complete, structurally ordered ternary complex (enzyme, isocitrate, NADP+, and Ca2+) is observed in the active site, with the nicotinamide ring of NADP+ exhibiting a specific salt bridge with isocitrate. The binding of the cofactor nicotinamide ring is dependent on this interaction. (ii) Isocitrate is bound by the enzyme with the same interactions as those found for the magnesium/substrate binary complex, but the entire molecule is shifted in the active site by approximately 1 A in order to accommodate the larger metal species and to interact with the nicotinamide ring. The distances from isocitrate to the bound calcium are substantially longer than those previously found with magnesium. (iii) NADP in the Escherichia coli IDH has a novel binding site and conformation as compared to previously solved dehydrogenases. (iv) The orientation and interactions of the nicotinamide ring with the substrate are consistent with the stereospecificity of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction.

Studies of the phosphorylation of Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase. Recognition of the enzyme by isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase/phosphatase and effects of phosphorylation on its structure and properties.

Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase is completely inactivated by phosphorylation of a single serine residue per subunit. We have examined the conformations of the active and phosphorylated forms of the enzyme using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results support the view that phosphorylation prevents the binding of NADP, probably by direct blocking of the coenzyme-binding site. Labelling studies suggest that an arginine residue at the coenzyme-binding site may be close to the phosphorylatable serine residue. The phosphorylation of isocitrate dehydrogenase is thus unusual in that it occurs at the active site of the enzyme. We therefore investigated the recognition of isocitrate dehydrogenase by isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase/phosphatase. The kinase activity of this enzyme can phosphorylate intact isocitrate dehydrogenase but not proteolytic fragments derived from it, nor a synthetic peptide corresponding to the sequence round the phosphorylation site.

Phosphorylation inactivates Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase by preventing isocitrate binding.

Equilibrium binding studies demonstrate that purified Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase binds isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, NADP, and NADPH at 1:1 ratios of substrate to enzyme monomer. The phosphorylated enzyme, which is completely inactive, is unable to bind isocitrate but retains the ability to bind NADP and NADPH. Replacement of serine 113, which is the site of phosphorylation, by aspartate results in an inactive enzyme that is unable to bind isocitrate. Replacement of the same serine with other amino acids (lysine, threonine, cysteine, tyrosine, and alanine) produces active enzymes that bind both substrates. Hence, the negative charge of an aspartate or a phosphorylated serine at site 113 inactivates the enzyme by preventing the binding of isocitrate.
