Abstract:2-Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (lipoamide) [OGDH or E1o: 2-oxoglutarate: lipoamide 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating and acceptor-succinating); EC 1.2.4.2] is a component enzyme of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Salmonella typhimurium gene encoding OGDH (ogdh) has been cloned in Escherichia coli. The libraries were screened for the expression of OGDH by complementing the gene in E. coli E1o-deficient mutant. Three positive clones (named Odh-3, Odh-5 and Odh-7) contained the identical 2.9 kb Sau3AI fragment as determined by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization, and expressed OGDH efficiently and constitutively using its own promoter in the heterologous host. This gene spans 2878 bases and contains an open reading frame of 2802 nucleotides encoding a mature protein of 927 amino acid residues (Mr=110,000). The comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned OGDH with E. coli OGDH shows 91% sequence identity. To localize the catalytic domain responsible for E. coli E1o-complementation, several deletion mutants lacking each portion of the ogdh gene were constructed using restriction enzymes. From the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis, a polypeptide which showed a complementation activity with an Mr of 30,000 was detected. The catalytic domain was localized in N-terminal region of the gene. Therefore, this is a first identification of the catalytic domain in bacterial ogdh gene.
