Isocitrate dehydrogenase type 2 (IDH2) is part of a multiprotein complex for placental steroidogenesis. Placenta 2019; 87:30-37. [PMID: 31542634 DOI: 10.1016/j.placenta.2019.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2019] [Revised: 09/09/2019] [Accepted: 09/16/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Human syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria require the activity of the isocitrate dehydrogenase type 2 (IDH2) to obtain reduced coenzymes for progesterone (P4) synthesis. Data from the literature indicate that mitochondrial steroidogenic contact sites transform efficiently cholesterol into P4. In this research, we identified the IDH2 as a member of the steroidogenic contact site and analyzed the steroidogenic role of its activity. METHOD Human syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation, and steroidogenic contact sites were obtained by osmotic shock and sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. In-gel native activity assay, mass spectroscopy, and western blot were used to identify the association of proteins and their activities. P4 was determined by immunofluorescence. RESULTS The IDH2 was mainly identified in steroidogenic contact sites, and its activity was associated with a complex of proteins with an apparent molecular mass of ~590 kDa. Mass spectroscopy showed many groups of proteins with several metabolic functions, including steroidogenesis and ATP synthesis. The IDH2 activity was coupled to P4 synthesis since in the presence of Ca2+ or Na2SeO3, inhibitors of the IDH2, the P4 production decreased. CONCLUSIONS The human syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria build contact sites for steroidogenesis. The IDH2, a non-membrane protein, supplies the NADPH required for the synthesis of P4 in a complex (steroidosome) that associate the proteins required to transform efficiently cholesterol into P4, which is necessary in pregnancy to maintain the relationship between mother and fetus. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The IDH2 is proposed as a check point in the regulation of placental steroidogenesis.

Abstract
Two isozymes of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (EC 1.1.1.42) exist in mammalian tissues: mitochondrial (ICD1) and cytosolic (ICD2). Effects of polyamines such as spermine, spermidine, and putrescine on the cytosolic and mitochondrial NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenases were analyzed kinetically. Spermine activated ICD2, the cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase from rat liver with the increase in the maximal velocity and the decrease in the affinity for the substrates isocitrate and NADP. The activating action of spermine can be explained by "the uncompetitive effect," and the dissociation constant of spermine for the enzyme-substrate complex was determined to be 1.68 mM. Spermidine and putrescine showed little or no effect. ICD1, the mitochondrial form of NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase from rat and porcine heart was inhibited by spermine effectively, and by spermidine and putrescine to a lesser extent. Spermine inhibited the enzyme competitively with respect to NADP, and noncompetitively with respect to isocitrate. K(i) value of the enzyme for spermine was 1.3 mM. These results suggest that activation by spermine of cytosolic NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase can enhance the antioxidant activity by regeneration of GSH, and further is responsible for the stimulation of lipid biosynthesis in cytosol. Spermine may contribute to NADPH supply by enhancing transhydrogenase (EC1.6.1.2) activity through the spermine-dependent activation of Ca(2+) -incorporation to mitochondria.

Abstract
Cytoplasmic NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)-IDH) has been purified and characterized, and its gene sequenced in many animal, plant, and yeast species. However, much less information is available on this enzyme-gene in insects. As a first step in investigating the biochemical and molecular mechanisms by which NADP(+)-IDH contributes to adaptations for flight vs. reproduction in insects, the enzyme was purified to homogeneity in the wing-dimorphic cricket, Gryllus firmus, characterized, and its corresponding gene sequenced. Using a combination of polyethylene glycol precipitation, Cibacron-Blue affinity chromatography, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography the enzyme was purified 291-fold (7% yield; specific activity = 15.8 µmol NADPH/min/mg protein). The purified enzyme exhibited a single band on SDS PAGE (46.3 kD), but consisted of two N-terminal amino acid sequences that differed in the first two amino acids. Purified enzyme exhibited standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics at pH 8.0 and 28° C (K(M(NADP+)) = 2.3 ± 0.4 µM; K(M(Na+-Isocitrate)) = 14.7 + 1.8 µM). Subunit molecular mass and K(M)S were similar to published values for NADP(+)-IDHs from a variety of vertebrate and two insect species. PCR amplification of an internal sequence using genomic DNA followed by 3' and 5' RACE yielded a nucleotide sequence of the mature protein and translated amino-acid sequences that exhibited high similarity (40-50% and 70-80%, respectively) to sequences from insect and vertebrate NADP(+)-IDHs. Two potential ATG start codons were identified. Both Nterminal amino-acid sequences matched the nucleotide sequence, consistent with both enzyme forms being transcribed from the same gene, although these variants could also be encoded by different genes. Bioinformatic analyses and differential centrifugation indicated that the majority, if not all, of the enzyme is cytoplasmic. The enzyme exhibited high specific activity in fat body, head and gut, and a single band on native PAGE.

Abstract
It has been shown that acute and chronic alcohol administrations increase the production of reactive oxygen species, lower cellular antioxidant levels and enhance oxidative stress in many tissues. We recently reported that cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) functions as an antioxidant enzyme by supplying NADPH to the cytosol. Upon exposure to ethanol, IDPc was susceptible to the loss of its enzyme activity in HepG2 cells. Transfection of HepG2 cells with an IDPc small interfering RNA noticeably downregulated IDPc and enhanced the cells' vulnerability to ethanol-induced cytotoxicity. Our results suggest that suppressing the expression of IDPc enhances ethanol-induced toxicity in HepG2 cells by further disruption of the cellular redox status.

Abstract
Cadmium ions have a high affinity for thiol groups. Therefore, they may disturb many cellular functions. We recently reported that cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) functions as an antioxidant enzyme to supply NADPH, a major source of reducing equivalents to the cytosol. Cadmium decreased the activity of IDPc both as a purified enzyme and in cultured cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that the knockdown of IDPc expression in HEK293 cells greatly enhances apoptosis induced by cadmium. Transfection of HEK293 cells with an IDPc small interfering RNA significantly decreased the activity of IDPc and enhanced cellular susceptibility to cadmium-induced apoptosis as indicated by the morphological evidence of apoptosis, DNA fragmentation and condensation, cellular redox status, mitochondria redox status and function, and the modulation of apoptotic marker proteins. Taken together, our results suggest that suppressing the expression of IDPc enhances cadmium-induced apoptosis of HEK293 cells by increasing disruption of the cellular redox status.

Abstract
Staurosporine induces the production of reactive oxygen species, which play an important causative role in apoptotic cell death. Recently, it was demonstrated that the control of cellular redox balance and the defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. The present report shows that silencing of IDPc expression in HeLa cells greatly enhances apoptosis induced by staurosporine. Transfection of HeLa cells with an IDPc small interfering RNA (siRNA) markedly decreased activity of IDPc, enhancing the susceptibility of staurosporine-induced apoptosis reflected by DNA fragmentation, cellular redox status and the modulation of apoptotic marker proteins. These results indicate that IDPc may play an important role in regulating the apoptosis induced by staurosporine and the sensitizing effect of IDPc siRNA on the apoptotic cell death of HeLa cells offers the possibility of developing a modifier of cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cytosolic NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc) is susceptible to inactivation by numerous thiol-modifying reagents. This study now reports that Cys269 of IDPc is a target for S-glutathionylation and that this modification is reversed by dithiothreitol as well as enzymatically by cytosolic glutaredoxin in the presence of GSH. Glutathionylated IDPc was significantly less susceptible than native protein to peptide fragmentation by reactive oxygen species and proteolytic digestion. Glutathionylation may play a protective role in the degradation of protein through the structural alterations of IDPc. HEK293 cells treated with diamide displayed decreased IDPc activity and accumulated glutathionylated enzyme. Using immunoprecipitation with an anti-IDPc IgG and immunoblotting with an anti-GSH IgG, we purified and positively identified glutathionylated IDPc from the kidneys of mice subjected to ischemia/reperfusion injury and from the livers of ethanol-administered rats. These results suggest that IDPc activity is modulated through enzymatic glutathionylation and deglutathionylation during oxidative stress.

Abstract
The free radical hypothesis of aging postulates that senescence is due to an accumulation of cellular oxidative damage, caused largely by reactive oxygen species that are produced as by-products of normal metabolic processes. Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of cytosolic (IDPc) and mitochondrial NADP+ -dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that modulation of IDPc or IDPm activity in IMR-90 cells regulates cellular redox status and replicative senescence. When we examined the regulatory role of IDPc and IDPm against the aging process with IMR-90 cells transfected with cDNA for IDPc or IDPm in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of IDPc or IDPm expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to senescence, which was reflected by changes in replicative potential, cell cycle, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, expression of p21 and p53, and morphology of cells. Furthermore, lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage, and intracellular peroxide generation were higher and cellular redox status shifted to a prooxidant condition in the cell lines expressing the lower level of IDPc or IDPm. The results suggest that IDPc and IDPm play an important regulatory role in cellular defense against oxidative stress and in the senescence of IMR-90 cells.

Abstract
Recently, we demonstrated that the control of cytosolic and mitochondrial redox balance and the cellular defense against oxidative damage is one of the primary functions of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) by supplying NADPH for antioxidant systems. When exposed to a singlet oxygen-producing system composed of rose bengal (RB) and visible light, ICDH was susceptible to oxidative modification and damage as indicated by the loss of activity and by the formation of carbonyl groups. The structural alterations of modified enzyme were indicated by the increase in susceptibility to proteases and the change in intrinsic fluorescence spectra. Upon exposure to photoactivated RB, a significant decrease in both cytosolic and mitochondrial ICDH activities was observed in HL-60 cells. The singlet oxygen-mediated damage to ICDH may result in the perturbation of cellular antioxidant defense mechanisms and subsequently lead to a pro-oxidant condition. When we examined the antioxidant role of cytosolic ICDH against singlet oxygen-induced damage with HL-60 cells transfected with the cDNA for mouse cytosolic ICDH in sense and antisense orientations, a clear inverse relationship was observed between the amount of cytosolic ICDH expressed in target cells and their susceptibility to singlet oxygen-mediated oxidative damage.

Abstract
Mitochondrial NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase activity is crucial for cardiomyocyte energy and redox status, but much remains to be learned about its role and regulation. We obtained data in spontaneously hypertensive rat hearts that indicated a partial inactivation of this enzyme before hypertrophy development. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac mitochondrial NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase is a target for modification by the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal, an aldehyde that reacts readily with protein sulfhydryl and amino groups. This hypothesis is supported by the following in vitro and in vivo evidence. In isolated rat heart mitochondria, enzyme inactivation occurred within a few minutes upon incubation with 4-hydroxynonenal and was paralleled by 4-hydroxynonenal/NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase adduct formation. Enzyme inactivation was prevented by the addition of its substrate isocitrate or a thiol, cysteine or glutathione, suggesting that 4-hydroxynonenal binds to a cysteine residue near the substrate's binding site. Using an immunoprecipitation approach, we demonstrated the formation of 4-hydroxynonenal/NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase adducts in the heart and their increased level (210%) in 7-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats compared with control Wistar Kyoto rats. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate that mitochondrial NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase is a target for inactivation by 4-hydroxynonenal binding. Furthermore, the pathophysiological significance of our finding is supported by in vivo evidence. Taken altogether, our results have implications that extend beyond mitochondrial NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase. Indeed, they emphasize the implication of post-translational modifications of mitochondrial metabolic enzymes by 4-hydroxynonenal in the early oxidative stress-related pathophysiological events linked to cardiac hypertrophy development.

Abstract
NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (ICDHs) are enzymes that reduce NADP+ to NADPH using isocitrate as electron donor. Cytosolic and mitochondrial isoforms of ICDH have been described. Little is known on the expression of ICDHs in brain cells. We have cloned the rat mitochondrial ICDH (mICDH) in order to obtain the sequence information necessary to study the expression of ICDHs in brain cells by RT-PCR. The cDNA sequence of rat mICDH was highly homologous to that of mICDH cDNAs from other species. By RT-PCR the presence of mRNAs for both the cytosolic and the mitochondrial ICDHs was demonstrated for cultured rat neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The expression of both ICDH isoenzymes was confirmed by western blot analysis using ICDH-isoenzyme specific antibodies as well as by determination of ICDH activities in cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions of the neural cell cultures. In astroglial and microglial cultures, the total ICDH activity was almost equally distributed between cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. In contrast, in cultures of neurons and oligodendrocytes about 75% of total ICDH activity was present in the cytosolic fractions. Putative functions of ICDHs in cytosol and mitochondria of brain cells are discussed.

Abstract
We studied the subcellular localization of the mitochondrial type of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD1) in rat was immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy and by biochemical methods, including immunoblotting and Nycodenz gradient centrifugation. Antibodies against a 14-amino-acid peptide at the C-terminus of mouse ICD1 was prepared. Immunoblotting analysis of the Triton X-100 extract of heart and kidney showed that the antibodies developed a single band with molecular mass of 45 kD. ICD1 was highly expressed in heart, kidney, and brown fat but only a low level of ICD1 was expressed in other tissues, including liver. Immunofluorescence staining showed that ICD1 was present mainly in mitochondria and, to a much lesser extent, in nuclei. Low but significant levels of activity and antigen of ICD1 were found in nuclei isolated by equilibrium sedimentation. Immunoblotting analysis of subcellular fractions isolated by Nycodenz gradient centrifugation from rat liver revealed that ICD1 signals were exclusively distributed in mitochondrial fractions in which acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was present. Immunofluorescence staining and postembedding electron microscopy demonstrated that ICD1 was confined almost exclusively to mitochondria and nuclei of rat kidney and heart muscle. The results show that ICD1 is expressed in the nuclei in addition to the mitochondria of rat heart and kidney. In the nuclei, the enzyme is associated with heterochromatin. In kidney, ICD1 distributes differentially in the tubule segments.

Abstract
NADPH is an important cofactor in many biosynthesis pathways and the regeneration of reduced glutathione, critically important in cellular defense against oxidative damage. It is mainly produced by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), malic enzyme, and the cytosolic form of NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPc). Little information is available about the role of IDPc in antioxidant defense. In this study we investigated the role of IDPc against cytotoxicity induced by oxidative stress by comparing the relative degree of cellular responses in three different NIH3T3 cells with stable transfection with the cDNA for mouse IDPc in sense and antisense orientations, where IDPc activities were 3-4-fold higher and 35% lower, respectively, than that in the parental cells carrying the vector alone. Although the activities of other antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and G6PD, were comparable in all transformed cells, the ratio of GSSG to total glutathione was significantly higher in the cells expressing the lower level of IDPc. This finding indicates that IDPc is essential for the efficient glutathione recycling. Upon transient exposure to increasing concentrations of H(2)O(2) or menadione, an intracellular source of free radicals and reactive oxygen species, the cells with low levels of IDPc became more sensitive to oxidative damage by H(2)O(2) or menadione. Lipid peroxidation, oxidative DNA damage, and intracellular peroxide generation were higher in the cell-line expressing the lower level of IDPc. However, the cells with the highly over-expressed IDPc exhibited enhanced resistance against oxidative stress, compared to the control cells. This study provides direct evidence correlating the activities of IDPc and the maintenance of the cellular redox state, suggesting that IDPc plays an important role in cellular defense against oxidative stress.

Abstract
Two types of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases (ICDs) have been reported: mitochondrial (ICD1) and cytosolic (ICD2). The C-terminal amino acid sequence of ICD2 has a tripeptide peroxisome targeting signal 1 sequence (PTS1). After differential centrifugation of the postnuclear fraction of rat liver homogenate, approximately 75% of ICD activity was found in the cytosolic fraction. To elucidate the true localization of ICD2 in rat hepatocytes, we analyzed the distribution of ICD activity and immunoreactivity in fractions isolated by Nycodenz gradient centrifugation and immunocytochemical localization of ICD2 antigenic sites in the cells. On Nycodenz gradient centrifugation of the light mitochondrial fraction, ICD2 activity was distributed in the fractions in which activity of catalase, a peroxisomal marker, was also detected, but a low level of activity was also detected in the fractions containing activity for succinate cytochrome C reductase (a mitochondrial marker) and acid phosphatase (a lysosomal marker). We have purified ICD2 from rat liver homogenate and raised a specific antibody to the enzyme. On SDS-PAGE, a single band with a molecular mass of 47 kD was observed, and on immunoblotting analysis of rat liver homogenate a single signal was detected. Double staining of catalase and ICD2 in rat liver revealed co-localization of both enzymes in the same cytoplasmic granules. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed gold particles with antigenic sites of ICD2 present mainly in peroxisomes. The results clearly indicated that ICD2 is a peroxisomal enzyme in rat hepatocytes. ICD2 has been regarded as a cytosolic enzyme, probably because the enzyme easily leaks out of peroxisomes during homogenization. (J Histochem Cytochem 49:1123-1131, 2001)

Abstract
Mitochondria are the major organelles that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the main target of ROS-induced damage as observed in various pathological states including aging. Production of NADPH required for the regeneration of glutathione in the mitochondria is critical for scavenging mitochondrial ROS through glutathione reductase and peroxidase systems. We investigated the role of mitochondrial NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDPm) in controlling the mitochondrial redox balance and subsequent cellular defense against oxidative damage. We demonstrate in this report that IDPm is induced by ROS and that decreased expression of IDPm markedly elevates the ROS generation, DNA fragmentation, lipid peroxidation, and concurrent mitochondrial damage with a significant reduction in ATP level. Conversely, overproduction of IDPm protein efficiently protected the cells from ROS-induced damage. The protective role of IDPm against oxidative damage may be attributed to increased levels of a reducing equivalent, NADPH, needed for regeneration of glutathione in the mitochondria. Our results strongly indicate that IDPm is a major NADPH producer in the mitochondria and thus plays a key role in cellular defense against oxidative stress-induced damage.

Abstract
To understand the interactions and functional role of each of the three mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma), we have characterized human cDNAs encoding two beta isoforms (beta(1) and beta(2)) and the gamma subunit. Analysis of deduced amino acid sequences revealed that beta(1) and beta(2) encode 349 and 354 amino acids, respectively, and the two isoforms only differ in the most carboxyl 28 amino acids. The gamma cDNA encodes 354 amino acids and is almost identical to monkey IDHgamma. Northern analyses revealed that the smaller beta(2) transcript (1.3 kilobases) is primarily expressed in heart and skeletal muscle, whereas the larger beta(1) mRNA (1.6 kilobases) is prevalent in nonmuscle tissues. Sequence analysis of the IDHbeta gene indicates that the difference in the C-terminal 28 amino acids between beta(1) and beta(2) proteins results from alternative splicing of a single transcript. Among the various combinations of human IDH subunits co-expressed in bacteria, alphabetagamma, alphabeta, and alphagamma combinations exhibited significant amounts of IDH activity, whereas subunits produced alone and betagamma showed no detectable activity. These data suggest that the alpha is the catalytic subunit and that at least one of the other two subunits plays an essential supporting role for activity. Substitution of beta(1) with beta(2) in the co-expression system lowered the pH optimum for IDH activity from 8.0 to 7.6. This difference in optimal pH was analogous to what was observed in mouse kidney and brain (beta(1) prevalent; optimal pH 8.0) versus heart (beta(2) prevalent; pH 7.6) mitochondria. Experiments with a specially designed splicing reporter construct stably transfected into HT1080 cells indicate that acidic conditions favor a splicing pattern responsible for the muscle- and heart-specific beta(2) isoform. Taken together, these data indicate a regulatory role of IDHbeta isoforms in determining the pH optimum for IDH activity through the tissue-specific alternative splicing.

Abstract
In n-alkane-utilizing yeast, Candida tropicalis, two NADP-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-IDH) isozymes are present, one in mitochondria (Mt-NADP-IDH) and the other in peroxisomes (Ps-NADP-IDH). Here we report the isolation, sequencing, and expression of the gene encoding Ps-NADP-IDH (CtIDP2), distinct from the Mt-NADP-IDH gene (CtIDP1). Based on the N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified Ps-NADP-IDH, a cDNA fragment specific for Ps-NADP-IDH was obtained by the 5'-RACE method. Using this fragment as a probe, the genomic CtIDP2 gene was isolated. Nucleotide sequence analysis of CtIDP2 disclosed that the region encoding CtIdp2p had a length of 1233 bp, corresponding to 411 amino acid residues. The deduced N-terminal amino acid sequence matched the results obtained from the purified protein. When this CtIDP2 was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using the C. tropicalis isocitrate lyase gene promoter (UPR-ICL), high intracellular NADP-IDH activity was observed. Comparison of amino acid sequences and phylogenetic tree analysis with NADP-IDH enzymes from all reported eukaryotic sources revealed that mammalian mitochondrial NADP-IDHs formed a cluster, as did plant NADP-IDHs. CtIdp2p and other yeast NADP-IDHs were not included in these clusters and seemed to diverge at an early stage from all other enzymes of higher eukaryotes. Ps-NADP-IDH had no typical C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal and no processing was demonstrated at the N-terminus. However, we could find a region near the N-terminus of the protein with high similarity to both the putative N-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal sequence of Fox3p of S. cerevisiae and an internal region of Pox4p of C. tropicalis. The results of northern blot analysis indicated that the biosynthesis of CtIdp2p was induced in a medium containing alkanes as a carbon source, where profuse proliferation of peroxisomes is observed.

Abstract
NADP+-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP+-IDH) activity and protein levels in crude extracts from the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 and the filamentous, dinitrogen-fixing Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 were determined under different nitrogen conditions. The highest NADP+-IDH activity and protein accumulation were found under dinitrogen-fixing conditions for the Anabaena strain and under nitrogen starvation for Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The icd gene that encodes the NADP+-IDH from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 was cloned by heterologous hybridization with the previously isolated icd gene from Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. The two cyanobacterial icd genes show 81% sequence identity and share a typical 44-amino-acid region different from all the other icd genes sequenced so far. The icd gene seems to be essential for Synechocystis growth since attempts to generate a completely segregated icd mutant were unsuccessful. Transcripts of 2.0 and 1.6 kb were detected by Northern (RNA) blot analysis, for the Anabaena and Synecho-cystis icd genes, respectively. Maximal icd mRNA accumulation was reached after 5 It of nitrogen starvation in Synechocystis cells and under dinitrogen-fixing conditions in Anabaena cells. Primer extension analysis showed that the structure of the Synechocystis icd gene promoter resembles those of the NtcA-regulated promoters. In addition, mobility shift assays demonstrated that purified Synechocystis NtcA protein binds to the promoter of the icd gene. All these data suggest that the expression of the icd gene from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 may be subjected to nitrogen control mediated by the positively acting regulatory protein NtcA.

Abstract
A cDNA which encodes a specific member of the NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) multi-isoenzyme family has been isolated from a tobacco cell suspension library, and the expression pattern of ICDH transcripts examined in various plant tissues. To assign this cDNA to a specific ICDH isoenzyme, the major, cytosolic ICDH isoenzyme of tobacco leaves (ICDH1) was purified to homogeneity and its N-terminus as well as several tryptic peptides, representing 30% of the protein, were sequenced. The comparison of these amino acid sequences with the deduced protein sequence of the cDNA confirmed that this clone encodes for ICDH1. The total ICDH specific activity and protein content were higher in vascular-enriched tobacco leaf tissue than in deveined (depleted in midrib and first-order veins) leaves. Taking advantage of antibodies raised against either ICDH1 or the chloroplastic ICDH2 isoenzyme from tobacco cell suspensions, an immuno-cytochemical approach indicated that the ICDH1 isoenzyme, located in the cytosolic compartment of tobacco leaf cells, is responsible for this expression pattern. This observation was confirmed by northern blot analyses, using a specific probe obtained from the 3' non-coding region of the ICDH1 cDNA. A comparison of ICDH protein sequences shows a large degree of similarity between eukaryotes (> 60%) but a poor homology is observed when compared to Escherichia coli ICDH (< 20%). However, it was found that the amino acids implicated in substrate binding, deduced from the 3-dimensional structure of the E. coli NADP-ICDH, appear to be conserved in all the deduced eukaryotic ICDH proteins reported until now.

Abstract
A 0.6 kb cDNA fragment encoding the human NAD(+)-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase alpha-subunit (H-IDH alpha) was amplified by PCR using oligonucleotide primers synthesized on the basis of pig tryptic peptide sequences [Huang and Colman (1990) Biochemistry 29, 8266-8273]. With the amplified cDNA as a probe, cDNA clones for IDH alpha were isolated from a human heart lambda gt11 cDNA library. The deduced protein sequence of the largest cDNA clone (2628 bp) rendered a precursor protein of 366 amino acids (39,591 Da) and a mature protein of 339 amino acids (36,640 Da). The deduced H-IDH alpha protein sequence is highly similar to the partial peptide sequences of the pig enzyme. It is 55, 43 and 44% identical with yeast NAD(+)-specific IDH2, yeast NAD(+)-specific IDH1 and monkey NAD(+)-specific IDH gamma-subunit (IDH gamma) respectively. However, it has less similarity (about 30%) to NADP(+)-specific IDH from Escherichia coli and bovine mitochondria. These results indicate that the structure of IDH alpha closely resembles that of IDH2, the catalytic subunit of the yeast enzyme. Structural analysis of the deduced H-IDH alpha protein revealed that the amino acids responsible for the binding of isocitrate, Mg2+ and NAD+ are highly conserved. It also has two conserved motifs for the binding sites of ATP and ADP, but a canonical Ca(2+)-binding motif was not recognized. Unusual penta-(ATTTA) and tri-(TAA or ATT) nucleotides which are respectively believed to interact with RNA-binding proteins and be near the endonuclease cleavage sites were frequently recognized in its 3' untranslated region, indicating the possibility of an additional method of regulation of this enzyme. Northern-blot analysis suggests that one mRNA transcript (2.8 kb) exists in cultured HeLa cells. Genomic DNA Southern-blot analysis indicates that the IDH alpha gene is not closely related to that of the other IDH isoenzymes, and IDH alpha appears to be encoded by a single gene.

Abstract
The expression of two structurally different isocitrate dehydrogenase isozymes of Vibrio sp. strain ABE-1 in Escherichia coli was examined. At a low temperature (15 degrees C), a thermolabile and monomeric type isozyme (IDH-II), which is quite different in amino acid sequence from the E. coli isocitrate dehydrogenase, was expressed and conferred glutamate prototrophic ability on an E. coli mutant defective in isocitrate dehydrogenase. The ability of IDH-II to confer restoration of the E. coli mutant to glutamate prototrophy was similar to that of IDH-I, which is a dimeric enzyme homologous to the E. coli isocitrate dehydrogenase. At a high temperature (37 degrees C), no functional IDH-II was expressed. Transcription of icdI and icdII genes, which encode IDH-I and IDH-II, respectively, was regulated differently by different environmental conditions. The level of icdII mRNA was increased by lowering the growth temperature for E. coli transformants, while the level of icdI mRNA was increased when E. coli transformants were cultured in acetate minimal medium. Similar patterns of transcriptional regulation of the two icd gene were observed also in Vibrio sp. strain ABE-1. However, activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase, which can phosphorylate IDH-I and consequently inactivate the enzymatic activity, was detected in cell lysates of E. coli but not of Vibrio sp. strain ABE-1.

Abstract
NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD) is an important enzyme of the intermediary metabolism, as it controls the carbon flux within the citric acid cycle and supplies the cell with 2-oxoglutarate and NADPH for biosynthetic purposes. In the amino acid-producing organism Corynebacterium glutamicum, the specific activity of ICD was independent of the growth substrate and of the growth phase at approximately 1 U/mg, indicating that this enzyme is constitutively formed. The ICD gene, icd, was isolated, subcloned on a plasmid, and introduced into C. glutamicum. Compared with the wild type, the recombinant strains showed up to 10-fold-higher specific ICD activities. The nucleotide sequence of a 3,595-bp DNA fragment containing the icd gene was determined. The predicted gene product of icd consists of 739 amino acids (M(r) = 80.091) and showed 58.5% identity with the monomeric ICD isozyme II from Vibrio sp. strain ABE-1 but no similarity to any known ICD of the dimeric type. Inactivation of the chromosomal icd gene led to glutamate auxotrophy and to the absence of any detectable ICD activity, suggesting that only a single ICD is present in C. glutamicum. From an icd-overexpressing C. glutamicum strain, ICD was purified and biochemically characterized. The native ICD was found to be a monomer; to be specific for NADP+; to be weakly inhibited by oxaloacetate, 2-oxoglutarate, and citrate; and to be severely inhibited by oxaloacetate plus glyoxylate. The data indicate that ICD from C. glutamicum is structurally similar to ICDs from bacteria of the genera Vibrio, Rhodomicrobium, and Azotobacter but different from all other known procaryotic and eucaryotic ICDs.

Abstract
NADP(+)-isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)-IDH) from the dinitrogen-fixing filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 was purified to homogeneity. The native enzyme is composed of two identical subunits (M(r), 57,000) and cross-reacts with antibodies obtained against the previously purified NADP(+)-IDH from the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Anabaena NADP(+)-IDH resembles in its physicochemical and kinetic parameters the typical dimeric IDHs from prokaryotes. The gene encoding Anabaena NADP(+)-IDH was cloned by complementation of an Escherichia coli icd mutant with an Anabaena genomic library. The complementing DNA was located on a 6-kb fragment. It encodes an NADP(+)-IDH that has the same mobility as that of Anabaena NADP(+)-IDH on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. The icd gene was subcloned and sequenced. Translation of the nucleotide sequence gave a polypeptide of 473 amino acids that showed high sequence similarity to the E. coli enzyme (59% identity) and with IDH1 and IDH2, the two subunits of the heteromultimeric NAD(+)-IDH from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (30 to 35% identity); however, a low level of similarity to NADP(+)-IDHs of eukaryotic origin was found (23% identity). Furthermore, Anabaena NADP(+)-IDH contains a 44-residue amino acid sequence in its central region that is absent in the other IDHs so far sequenced. Attempts to generate icd mutants by insertional mutagenesis were unsuccessful, suggesting an essential role of IDH in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120.
