Abstract excerpt
The regulation of human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme (m-NAD-ME) by ATP and fumarate may be crucial for the metabolism of glutamine for energy production in rapidly proliferating tissues and tumors. Here we report the crystal structure at 2.2 A resolution of m-NAD-ME in complex with ATP, Mn2+, tartronate, and fumarate. Our structural, kinetic, and mutagenesis studies reveal unexpectedly that ATP is...
