Abstrakt: Human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coliand purified by anion-exchange, ATP affinity, and gel filtration chromatography. The protein was crystallized with the hanging-drop vapor diffusion method. Many different crystal forms were observed, five of which were characterized in some detail. A 2.5-Å multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction data set and a 2.1-Å native data set were collected using synchrotron radiation on crystals containing selenomethionyl residues. These crystals belong to space group B2, with a= 204.4 Å, b= 107.0 Å, c= 59.2 Å, and γ = 101.9°. Self-rotation functions demonstrated that the tetramer of this enzyme obeys 222 symmetry.
