Abstract
:
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme of glycolytic pathway, ubiquitously found in living organisms. Increased glycolysis and LDH activity are associated with many pathogenic conditions including inflammation and cancer, making the enzyme a suitable drug target. Studies on the conserved structural and functional domains of LDH from various species can reveal novel inhibitory molecules. Our study describes, E. coli production and characterization of a moderately thermostable LDH (LDH-GT) from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans DSM-465. In silico 3D model of recombinant enzyme and molecular docking with a set of potential inhibitors are also described. The recombinant enzyme was overexpressed in E. coli and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The molecular weight of enzyme determined by MALDI-TOF was 34798.96 Da. It exhibited maximum activity at 65°C and pH 7.5 with KM value for pyruvate as 45 µM. LDH-GT and human LDH-A have only 35.6% identity in the amino acid sequence. Contrary to that, a comparison by in silico structural alignment reveals that LDH-GT monomer has about 80% identity to that of truncated LDH-A. The amino acids ‘GEHGD’ as well as the active site His179 and His193 are conserved. Docking studies have shown the binding free energy changes of potential inhibitors with LDH-A and LDH-GT ranging -407.11 kJ mole-1 to -127.31 kJ mole-1. Highlighting the conserved structural and functional domains of LDH from two entirely different species, study has graded potential inhibitory molecules on the basis of their binding affinities that can be applied for in vivo anticancer studies.
