Isocitrate lyase competes with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocitrate_dehydrogenase isocitrate dehydrogenase], an enzyme found in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle citric cycle], for isocitrate processing. The favoritism of one enzyme over the other is controlled by the phosphorylation of isocitrate dehydrogenase. This enzyme has a much higher affinity for isocitrate as compared to isocitrate lyase. Phosphorylation of isocitrate dehydrogenase inactivates the enzyme and leades to increased isocitrate lyase activity. <ref name="cozzone"> Cozzone, A.; Regulation of acetate metabolism by protein phosphorylation in enteric bacteria.

Within isocitrate lyase, His193 shifts the pKa of Cys191 and removes its proton. This allows Cys191 to extract a proton from the hydroxyl group of isocitrate. The resulting oxyanion forms a carbonyl and forces the lysis of a C-C bond. Glyoxylate and the enol form of succinate are formed and stabilized with a Mg<sup>2+</sup> ion. The succinate enolate resonates and extracts the proton back from Cys191 to form succinate ('''Figure 5''').
