physiological function | in illuminated chloroplasts, one mechanism involved in reduction oxidation (redox) homeostasis is the malate-oxaloacetate shuttle. Excess electrons from photosynthetic electron transport in the form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, reduced are used by NADP+-dependent malate dehydrogenase to reduce oxaloacetate to malate, thus regenerating the electron acceptor NADP+. Since NADP-MDH is a strictly redox-regulated, light-activated enzyme that is inactive in the dark, the malate-oxaloacetate shuttle is in the dark or in nonphotosynthetic tissues proposed to be mediated by the constitutively active plastidial NAD-specific MDH isoform (pdNAD-MDH, EC 1.1.1.37), which is is active under both light and dark conditions. pdNAD-MDH deficiency in miR-mdh-1 can be functionally complemented by expression of a microRNA-insensitive pdNAD-MDH but not NADP-MDH, confirming distinct roles for NAD- and NADP-linked redox homeostasis. NADP-MDH is not crucial for providing electron acceptors in chloroplasts | Arabidopsis thaliana |
