title: Substrate recognition of isocitrate dehydrogenase and 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus HB8.
abstract: The substrate-binding sites of NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and NAD-dependent 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus were analyzed by site-directed mutagenesis. Ser97 and Asn99 of isocitrate dehydrogenase were identified to be involved in the isocitrate recognition. In 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase, the corresponding residues, Leu90 and Leu91, appear to recognize the substrate by forming a hydrophobic pocket. Double mutation of Asp78 and Glu87 revealed that negative charge of these residues plays a crucial role in discriminating isopropylmalate from isocitrate.
