Photorespiration-deficient Mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana Lacking Mitochondrial Serine Transhydroxymethylase Activity.
Three allelic mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana which lack mitochondrial serine transhydroxymethylase activity due to a recessive nuclear mutation have been characterized. The mutants were shown to be deficient both in glycine decarboxylation and in the conversion of glycine to serine. Glycine accumulated as an end product of photosynthesis in the mutants, largely at the expense of serine, starch...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dihydrolipoyl Dehydrogenase Activity Shapes Photosynthesis and Photorespiration of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Mitochondrial dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (mtLPD; L-protein) is an integral component of several multienzyme systems involved in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, photorespiration, and the degradation of branched-chain α-ketoacids. The majority of the mtLPD present in photosynthesizing tissue is used for glycine decarboxylase (GDC), necessary for the high-flux photorespiratory glycine-into-se...
متن کاملIdentification of ascorbic acid-deficient Arabidopsis thaliana mutants.
Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is a potent antioxidant and cellular reductant present at millimolar concentrations in plants. This small molecule has roles in the reduction of prosthetic metal ions, cell wall expansion, cell division, and in the detoxification of reactive oxygen generated by photosynthesis and adverse environmental conditions. However, unlike in animals, the biosynthesis of ascorb...
متن کاملCadmium-sensitive, cad1 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana are phytochelatin deficient.
An allelic series of cad1, cadmium-sensitive mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, was isolated. These mutants were sensitive to cadmium to different extents and were deficient in their ability to form cadmium-peptide complexes as detected by gel-filtration chromatography. Each mutant was deficient in its ability to accumulate phytochelatins (PCs) as detected by high-performance liquid chromatograph...
متن کاملSelection of Salmonella typhimurium mutants with altered serine transhydroxymethylase regulation.
In Salmonella typhimurium the glyA gene product, serine transhydroxymethylase (E.C. 2.1.2.1.; L-serine:tetrahydrofolate-5,10-hydroxymethyltransferase) is responsible for the interconversion of serine and glycine. This reaction also provides the cell with one-carbon units from the 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate formed during glycine synthesis. Despite the importance of this enzyme, however, no ...
