Characterization of 3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase from extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica

3-Isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of (2R, 3S)-3-isopropylmalate to 2-oxoisocaproate in leucine biosynthesis. In this study, recombinant IPMDH (HjIPMDH) from an extremely halophilic archaeon, Haloarcula japonica TR-1, was characterized. Activity of HjIPMDH in...

Zusammenfassung:3-Isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (IPMDH) catalyzes oxidative decarboxylation of (2R, 3S)-3-isopropylmalate to 2-oxoisocaproate in leucine biosynthesis. In this study, recombinant IPMDH (HjIPMDH) from an extremely halophilic archaeon, Haloarcula japonica TR-1, was characterized. Activity of HjIPMDH increased as KCl concentration increased, and the maximum activity was observed at 3.0 m KCl. Analytical ultracentrifugation revealed that HjIPMDH formed a homotetramer at high KCl concentrations, and it dissociated to a monomer at low KCl concentrations. Additionally, HjIPMDH was thermally stabilized by higher KCl concentrations. This is the first report on haloarchaeal IPMDH.
