Isocitrate dehydrogenase from an extremely thermophilic bacterium, Thermus aquaticus YT1, was purified to homogeneity, and the gene was cloned by using a degenerate oligonucleotide probe based on the N-terminal sequence. The gene consisted of a single open reading frame of 1,278 bp preceded by a Shine-Dalgarno ribosome binding site, and a terminator-like sequence was detected downstream of the open reading frame. The G+C content of the coding region was 65%, and that of the third nucleotide of the codons was 93%. The amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed a relatively low level of similarity to the counterpart from T. thermophilus (35% identity) but showed higher levels of similarity (54 to 69% identity) to the other bacterial counterparts so far reported, including those from Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Vibrio sp., and Anabaena sp. The cloned gene was highly expressed in E. coli and easily purified to homogeneity by heat treatment (70 degrees C, 30 min) and DEAE column chromatography to yield approximately 10 mg of protein from 1 g of wet cells. The recombinant enzyme showed high thermostability and almost the same heat denaturation profile as the intact enzyme purified from the thermophile cells, implying that the recombinant protein has the same structure as the intact one.
