Abstract excerpt
NAD(+) use is an ancestral trait of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), and the NADP(+) phenotype arose through evolution as an ancient adaptation event. However, no NAD(+)-specific IDHs have been found among type II IDHs and monomeric IDHs. In this study, novel type II homodimeric NAD-IDHs from Ostreococcus lucimarinus CCE9901 IDH (OlIDH) and Micromonas sp. RCC299 (MiIDH), and novel monomeric NAD-IDHs from...
