Abstract: | Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to α-ketoglutarate with NAD(P) as a cofactor in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. As a housekeeping protein in Helicobacter pylori, IDH was considered as a possible candidate for serological diagnostics and detection. Here, we identified a new icd gene encoding IDH from H. pylori strain SS1. The recombinant H. pylori isocitrate dehydrogenase (HpIDH) was cloned, expressed, and purified in E. coli system. The enzymatic characterization of HpIDH demonstrates its activity with k cat of 87 s?1, K m of 124 μM and k cat/K m of 7 × 105 M?1s?1 toward isocitrate, k cat of 80 s?1, K m of 176 μM and k cat/K m of 4.5 × 105 M?1s?1 toward NADP. The optimum pH of the enzyme activity is around 9.0, and the optimum temperature is around 50 °C. This current work is expected to help better understand the features of HpIDH and provide useful information for H. pylori serological diagnostics and detection. |
