Identification of the subunit and important target peptides of pig heart NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase modified by the affinity label adenosine 5'-O-[S-(4-bromo-2, 3-dioxobutyl)thiophosphate].
Pig heart NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase is inactivated by adenosine 5'-O-[S-(4-bromo-2,3-dioxobutyl)thiophosphate] (AMPS-BDB) with incorporation of 1.78 mol of reagent/mol of average subunit. Complete protection against the inactivation is provided by 20 mM isocitrate + 1 mM Mn2+, and the incorporation is decreased to about 1.3 mol of reagent/mol of average subunit. The addition of NAD, NADH, or Mn2+ alone has little effect on the functional changes produced by AMPS-BDB, while ADP gives only partial protection against the inactivation. The ability of ADP to decrease the Km for isocitrate is not affected by the AMPS-BDB modification of the enzyme. These results indicate that the isocitrate substrate site is the target of AMPS-BDB. The enzyme has three types of subunits with a tetramer having the composition alpha2 beta gamma. Here, [2-3H]AMPS-BDB-modified subunits are separated by HPLC on a C4 reverse-phase column, after the treatment of the modified enzyme with 4 M urea. The predominant radioactivity is distributed in alpha and gamma subunits. However, evidence based on recombination of subunits from modified and unmodified enzymes indicates that only labeling of the alpha subunit is responsible for inactivation by AMPS-BDB. Subsequently, the separated modified subunits were chemically cleaved by CNBr and then purified by HPLC using a C18 column. The labeled peptides were further digested by pepsin, purified by HPLC, and sequenced. These results indicate that R88 and R98 from the alpha subunit are the major targets of AMPS-BDB which cause inactivation and that these are at or near the isocitrate site of the enzyme.
