Popis: The NAD-dependent d-lactate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus bulgaricus has been purified to homogeneity. This enzyme was a dimer made of two identical chains of molecular mass 37 000. Saturation by either substrate was hyperbolic, with Km values of 50 μM for NADH and 1 mM for pyruvate. The specific activity was 2200 units/mg and was not affected by the presence of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, Mn2+ ions, ATP or ADP. The amino-terminal sequence determined on 50 residues showed no significant homology with known lactate dehydrogenases, suggesting that the d-lactate lactate dehydrogenase from L. bulgaricus could not be evolutionarily related to the family of NAD-dependent l-lactate dehydrogenases.
