An NADP+-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase has been purified and characterized from Rhizobium meliloti. The enzyme showed Mn++ or Mg++ requirement. The apparent Km values were 2.00 x 10(-5) M and 1.51 x 10(-5) M for DL-isocitrate and NADP+, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by ATP, to a lesser

✦ Synopsis
A NADP+-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.42) was isolated and purified over 400-fold from Anacystis nidulans. The enzyme activity responded slowly to rapid changes in ligand (NADP +, isocitrate, Mg 2 +-ions) or enzyme concentration as well as to rapid changes in temperature. These are properties characteristic of the hysteretic enzymes. In addition, the enzyme activity was subject to product (c~-ketoglutarate) inhibition. ATP, ADP and CDP also inhibited the enzyme. Unlike several other cyanobacterial enzymes, the isocitrate dehydrogenase of Anacystis is not under redox control.
