Function

MDHC_HUMAN Catalyzes the reduction of aromatic alpha-keto acids in the presence of NADH (PubMed:3052244). Plays essential roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle and the tricarboxylic acid cycle, important in mitochondrial NADH supply for oxidative phosphorylation (PubMed:31538237).[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The first crystal structure of the human cytosolic malate dehydrogenase I (MDH1) is described. Structure determination at a high resolution (1.65 A) followed production, isolation, and purification of human MDH1 using a bacterial expression system. The structure is a binary complex of MDH1 with only a bound malonate molecule in the substrate binding site. Comparisons of this structure with malate dehydrogenase enzymes from other species confirm that the human enzyme adopts similar secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures and that the enzyme retains a similar conformation even when nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) is not bound. A comparison to the highly homologous porcine (sus scrofa) MDH1 ternary structures leads to the conclusion that only small conformational differences are needed to accommodate binding by NAD(+) or other NAD(+) mimetics. Conformational differences observed in the second subunit show that the NAD(+) binding elements are nevertheless quite flexible. Comparison of hMDH1 to the human mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (hMDH2) reveals some key differences in the alpha7-alpha8 loop, which lies directly beneath the substrate binding pocket. These differences might be exploited in the structure-assisted design of selective small molecule inhibitors of hMDH1, an emerging target for the development of anticancer therapeutics.
