Immunoscreening and DNA hybridization were used to isolate a 1.72-kilo
base pair cDNA encoding cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydro
genase from a rat liver, lambda gt11 cDNA library. The identity of the
cDNA was confirmed by comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence w
ith sequences of peptides obtained from purified ovarian cytosolic iso
citrate dehydrogenase. The 1.72-kilobase pair cDNA sequence translated
into a protein of 414 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 46
,681 Da. The amino acid sequence contains a tripeptide (AKL) at the CO
OH terminus which represents a possible peroxisomal targeting sequence
. The deduced amino acid sequence of the rat liver cytosolic isocitrat
e dehydrogenase showed 70 and 59% identity with sequences reported for
NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases from porcine mitochondria
and yeast cytosol respectively. Northern blot analysis demonstrated a
13-fold increase in expression of cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitr
ate dehydrogenase mRNA during the gonadotropin-induced development of
the immature rat ovary. In comparative studies, the cytosolic and mito
chondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase mRNAs were found to differ in size
(2.2 and 1.8 kilobases, respectively) and to be differentially express
ed in various tissues of the rat. Distinct digestion patterns were als
o obtained in Southern blot analysis of rat genomic DNA.
