Crystal structure of human m-NAD-ME in ternary complex with NAD and Lu3+
Contents |
Overview
The catalytic activity of malic enzyme (ME), a member of a new class of, oxidative decarboxylases, requires the presence of divalent cations, (Mn(2+), Mg(2+), and others). The crystal structure at 2.9 A resolution of, human mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent malic enzyme in a ternary complex, with NAD(+) and the lanthanide ion Lu(3+), which has similar radius as, Mn(2+), reveals a new conformation of the enzyme. The active site in this, ternary complex is in an open form, while the organization of the tetramer, of the enzyme actually resembles that with a closed active site. The, Lu(3+) ion is bound to the enzyme at the same site as Mn(2+). Kinetic, studies showed that Lu(3+) is a potent inhibitor of both the human, NAD(P)(+)-dependent ME and the NADP(+)-dependent ME from pigeon liver, and, is competitive with respect to the divalent cation, consistent with the, structural information.
