A monomeric NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from the multicellular prokaryote Streptomyces avermitilis MA-4680 (SaIDH) was heteroexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the His-tagged enzyme was further purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight of SaIDH was about 80 kDa which is typical for monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenases. Structure-based sequence alignment reveals that the deduced amino acid sequence of SaIDH shows high sequence identity with known momomeric isocitrate dehydrogenase, and the coenzyme, substrate and metal ion binding sites are completely conserved. The optimal pH and temperature of SaIDH were found to be pH 9.4 and 45A degrees C, respectively. Heat-inactivation studies showed that heating for 20 min at 50A degrees C caused a 50% loss in enzymatic activity. In addition, SaIDH was absolutely specific for NADP(+) as electron acceptor. Apparent K (m) values were 4.98 mu M for NADP(+) and 6,620 mu M for NAD(+), respectively, using Mn2+ as divalent cation. The enzyme performed a 33,000-fold greater specificity (k (cat)/K (m)) for NADP(+) than NAD(+). Moreover, SaIDH activity was entirely dependent on the presence of Mn2+ or Mg2+, but was strongly inhibited by Ca2+ and Zn2+. Taken together, our findings implicate the recombinant SaIDH is a divalent cation-dependent monomeric isocitrate dehydrogenase which presents a remarkably high cofactor preference for NADP(+).
