Escherichia coli isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) can be phosphorylated and dephosphorylated by a single bifunctional protein, isocitrate dehydrogenase kinase/phosphatase (AceK), which is encoded by the aceK gene. In order to investigate the regulatory mechanism of (de)phosphorylation of ICDH by AceK, AceK was successfully cocrystallized in complex with its intact protein substrate, ICDH, in the presence of ATP. The complex crystal was obtained by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion technique using PEG 300 as a precipitant and magnesium sulfate as an additive. SDS-PAGE analysis of dissolved crystals showed that the crystals contained both AceK and ICDH proteins. The complex crystals diffracted to a resolution of 2.9 angstrom in space group P6(3), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 196.80, c = 156.46 angstrom.
