Polymorphism of Microbody Malate Dehydrogenase in Opuntia basilaris.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrophoretic survey of malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) in Opuntia basilaris showed intraspecific polymorphism. Further experiments with microbody malate dehydrogenase-specific antiserum suggest that the polymorphism occurs in microbody malate dehydrogenase independent of the soluble and mitochondrial forms. The pattern of polymorphism is one expected from a two-allele Mendelian system.

Tissue distribution of microbody, mitochondrial, and soluble malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes.
Many tissues which have been investigated have at least two malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. One is an organelle form localized in mitochondrial fractions whereas the other does not appear to associate with organelles sedimenting after high speed centrifugation (17). Spinach leaf tissue has an additional malate dehydrogenase isoenzyme localized in the peroxisome or leaf microbody fraction (12, ...
متن کاملMicrobody Malate Dehydrogenase Isozyme in Cotyledons of Cucumis sativus L. during Development.
The properties of the microbody malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37) (MDH) isozyme from cotyledons of Cucumus sativus L. were compared during development. It is concluded that the isozyme remains unaltered, despite the transition from glyoxysomal to peroxisomal function that occurs during greening of the cotyledons. This conclusion is based on electrophoretic behavior, chromatographic elution fro...

MDH catalyzes the oxidation (dehydration) of L-malate to oxaloacetate in the presence of NAD+ as a cofactor: This article is an overview of literature data on the structure, properties, functions and genetic control of the enzyme malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in plants. In most of the...
متن کاملDrought Adaptation in Opuntia basilaris: Significance of Recycling Carbon through Crassulacean Acid Metabolism.
Contrasting metabolic regimes operate in Opuntia basilaris Engelm. and Bigelov, before and after precipitation. During periods of drought, atmospheric CO(2) exchange and transpiration are greatly reduced throughout the day/night cycle by stomatal closure and a highly impervious cuticle. The hypothesis is that endogenously produced CO(2) is retained and recycled through dark CO(2) fixation, orga...
متن کاملCharacterization of Early Morning Crassulacean Acid Metabolism in Opuntia erinacea var Columbiana (Griffiths) L. Benson.
The nature and sequence of metabolic events during phase II (early morning) Crassulacean acid metabolism in Opuntia erinacea var columbiana (Griffiths) L. Benson were characterized. Gas exchange measurements under 2 and 21% O(2) revealed increased O(2) inhibition of CO(2) fixation with progression of phase II. Malate and titratable acidity patterns indicated continued synthesis of C(4) acids fo...
