Interconversion between glutamate and 2-oxoglutarate, which can be catalysed by glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), is a key reaction in plant carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism. However, the physiological role of plant GDH has been a controversial issue for several decades. To elucidate the function
Glutamate-dehydrogenase (GDH, EC 1.4.1.2) activity and isoenzyme patterns were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana plantlets, and parallel studies were carried out on glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2). Both NADH-GDH and NAD-GDH activities increased during plant development whereas GS activity
NAD(H)-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.4.1.2) is an abundant and ubiquitous enzyme that may exist in different isoenzymic forms. Variation in the composition of the GDH isoenzyme pattern is observed during plant development and specific cell, tissue and organ localization of the different
In higher plants, NAD(H)-glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.4.1.2) is an abundant enzyme that exists in different isoenzymic forms. In Arabidopsis thaliana, three genes (Gdh1, Gdh2 and Gdh3) encode three different GDH subunits (β, α and γ) that randomly associate to form a complex array of homo- and
Following the discovery that in Arabidopsis, a third isoenzyme of NADH-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is expressed in the mitochondria of the root companion cells, we have re-examined the GDH isoenzyme composition. By analyzing the NADH-GDH isoenzyme composition of single, double and triple
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) releases ammonia in a reversible NAD(P)+-dependent oxidative deamination of glutamate that yields 2-oxoglutarate (2OG). In current perception, GDH contributes to Glu homeostasis and plays a significant role at the junction of carbon and nitrogen assimilation
As the most essential element, nitrogen play a pivotal role in plant physiological process, which is susceptible to contaminants. However, the enantioselective effects of chiral herbicides on nitrogen metabolism have not been comprehensively understood. In this study, effects of chiral herbicide
Ammonia production and assimilation(1) were examined in photorespiratory mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana L. lacking ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GluS) activity. Although photosynthesis was rapidly inhibited in these mutants in normal air, NH(4) (+) continued to accumulate. The
This study explored the natural variability of Arabidopsis thaliana to find out its response to ammonium availability and characterize the tolerance capacity to cadmic stress under low, average or high nitrogen supplies. Growth was determined by different morphological traits and metabolic enzymes.
Two distinct cDNA clones encoding NAD(H)-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD[H]-GDH) in Arabidopsis thaliana were identified and sequenced. The genes corresponding to these cDNA clones were designated GDH1 and GDH2. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences suggest that both gene products
Ethylene is an essential hormone in plants that is involved in low-oxygen and reoxygenation responses. As a key transcription factor in ethylene signaling, ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE3 (EIN3) activates targets that trigger various responses. However, most of these targets are still poorly characterized.
The role of NADH-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) was investigated by studying the physiological impact of a complete lack of enzyme activity in an Arabidopsis thaliana plant deficient in three genes encoding the enzyme. This study was conducted following the discovery that a third GDH gene
Plants are dependent on exogenous nitrogen (N) supply. Ammonium (NH₄(+)), together with nitrate (NO₃(-)), is one of the main nitrogenous compounds available in the soil. Paradoxically, although NH4 (+) assimilation requires less energy than that of NO₃(-), many plants display toxicity symptoms when
Chloroplast located Glutamine Synthetase (GS2) is believed to play a major role in the reassimilation of ammonium generated by photorespiration, being GS2 knockout mutants unable to grow under photorespiratory conditions (low-CO2 atmosphere) in the species characterized so far (Barley,
