Reaction: (1) isocitrate + NAD+ = 2-oxoglutarate + CO2 + NADH
(2) (1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate + NAD+ = 2-oxoadipate + CO2 + NADH + H+
Other name(s): homoisocitrateisocitrate dehydrogenase; PH1722
Systematic name: isocitrate(homoisocitrate):NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Comments: Requires Mn2+ and K+ or NH4+ for activity. Unlike EC 1.1.1.41, isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD+) and EC 1.1.1.87, homoisocitrate dehydrogenase, this enzyme, from Pyrococcus horikoshii, can use both isocitrate and homoisocitrate as substrates. The enzyme may play a role in both the lysine and glutamate biosynthesis pathways.
