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 ...
