Inhibition of bovine heart NAD-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase by reduced pyridine nucleotides: modulation of inhibition by ADP, NAD+, Ca2+, citrate, and isocitrate.

The activity of NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase from bovine heart was inhibited by NADH (apparent Ki about 4.3 microM) and NADPH (Ki about 9.8 microM) at subsaturating substrate concentrations at pH 7.4. The inhibition by NADH or NADPH was reversed competitively by magnesium isocitrate in the presence of ADP, but not without ADP. Reversal of inhibition by NADH or NADPH with respect to NAD+ was competitive or of the linear mixed type depending on whether ADP was absent or present. ADP3- (0.2 mM) increased the Ki(app) for NADPH from 9.8 to 27.1 microM; further addition of Ca2+ (0.2 mM) raised the Ki(app) to 127 microM. For the modification of NADPH inhibition by ADP, S0.5 for Ca2+ was approximately 48 microM. This compares to the Km for Ca2+ of 0.3-1 microM for the activation of the enzyme without NADPH [Denton, R. M., Richards, D. A., & Chin, J. G. (1978) Biochem. J. 176, 899-906; Aogaichi, T., Evans, J., Gabriel, J., & Plaut, G. W. E. (1980) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 204, 350-360]. ADP did not affect the Ki for NADH. Magnesium citrate, which was about 100-fold more effective as a positive modifier of the enzyme with ADP than without ADP [Gabriel, J. L., & Plaut, G. W. E. (1983) Fed. Proc., Fed. Am. Soc. Exp. Biol. 42, 2082], reversed competitively the inhibition by NADPH in the presence of ADP, but not without ADP. Magnesium citrate did not reverse NADH inhibition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
