additional information | construction of knockout single and double mutants, homozygous T-DNA insertion lines for single and double mutations, for the highly expressed mMDH1 and lower expressed mMDH2 isozymes, mmdh1mmdh2 mutant has no detectable mMDH activity but is viable, albeit small and slow growing. Quantitative proteome analysis of mitochondria shows changes in other mitochondrial NAD-linked dehydrogenases, indicating a reorganization of such enzymes in the mitochondrial matrix, phenotypes, overview. Complementation of mmdh1mmdh2 with an mMDH cDNA recovers mMDH activity, suppressed respiratory rate, ameliorated changes to photorespiration, and increases plant growth | Arabidopsis thaliana |

additional information | inverse correlation between mMDH and ascorbate content | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | mMDH has a role in maximizing photorespiratory rate. The slow-growing mmdh1mmdh2 mutant has elevated leaf respiration rate in the dark and light, without loss of photosynthetic capacity, suggesting that mMDH normally uses NADH to reduce oxaloacetate to malate, which is then exported to the cytosol, rather than to drive mitochondrial respiration. Increased respiratory rate in leaves can account in part for the low net CO2 assimilation and slow growth rate of mmdh1mmdh2. Loss of mMDH also affects photorespiration with alterations in CO2 assimilation/intercellular CO2 at low CO2, and the light-dependent elevated concentration of photorespiratory metabolites | Arabidopsis thaliana |
