The gene

Basic information

• Locus tag: BSU29130

Phenotypes of a mutant

• • reduced ability to sporulate PubMed
  • growth and sporulation defects of the mutant could be partially bypassed by deletion of the major citrate synthase gene (citZ) PubMed

The protein

Basic information/ Evolution

• Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity: Isocitrate + NADP⁺ = 2-oxoglutarate + CO₂ + NADPH (according to Swiss-Prot)

• Protein family: isocitrate and isopropylmalate dehydrogenases family (according to Swiss-Prot)

• Paralogous protein(s):

Extended information on the protein

• Kinetic information: Reversible Michaelis-Menten PubMed

• Domains:

• Modification:
  • phosphorylated on Arg-180 PubMed
  • phosphorylated PubMed, PubMed
  • in vitro phosphorylated by PrkC on Thr-138, Thr-147, and Thr-396 PubMed

• Cofactor(s): Mg2+, Mn2+, NADP+

• Effectors of protein activity:
  • Inhibited by glyoxylate, oxaloacetate and oxalomalate PubMed
    • Better inhibition when glyoxylate and oxaloacetate is combined, probably due to the non-enzymatic conversion into oxalomalate, which is a strong inhibitor PubMed

• Interactions:
  • homodimer PubMed
  • CitZ-Mdh-Icd (this is the core of the TCA cycle metabolon) PubMed
  • GltA-Icd PubMed
  • OdhB-Icd PubMed

• Localization: attached to the membrane PubMed

Database entries

• Structure: 1HQS

• UniProt: P39126

• KEGG entry: [3]

• E.C. number: 1.1.1.42

Additional information

• This enzyme requires NADP+ exclusively. No activity was seen on the presence on NAD+ PubMed
