Lactate dehydrogenases from thermophilic bacilli (Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus caldotenax) and from mesophilic bacilli (Bacillus X1, Bacillus subtilis) have been isolated by a two-step purification procedure. Only one type (LDH-P4) composed of four identical subunits (Mr 34 000 or 36 000) was found in each bacillus. The tetrameric enzymes were characterized with respect to thermostability, pH and temperature dependence of the pyruvate reduction and the L-lactate oxidation, substrate specificity, saturation kinetics (Km values of pyruvate, lactate, NAD, NADH), pyruvate and oxamate inhibition, and activation by fructose bisphosphate. The thermophilic and mesophilic enzymes differ characteristically in these parameters. Preliminary structural data (amino acid composition, comparative N-terminal sequence analysis) show the expected close phylogenetic relationship (high degree of sequence homology), but also typical differences between thermophilic and mesophilic dehydrogenases, a suitable basis for further comparative studies.
