Descriptions

The chloroplastic NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase (NADP-MDH) catalyzes the reduction of oxaloacetate into L-malate. The enzyme exhibits extensions at both the N- and C-termini. The N-terminal disulfide motif is inserted in a cleft between the two subunits of the dimer, thereby locking the domains in each subunit. The C-terminal extension (C-terminal inhibitory peptide) also contains a regulatory disulfide bridge. The C-terminal disulfide keeps the C-terminal residues tight to the enzyme surface and blocks access to the active site. Reduction of the N-terminal disulfide may release the stopper between the domains and give the enzyme the flexibility. Simultaneous reduction of the C-terminal disulfide may free the C-terminal residues from binding to the enzyme and make the active site accessible.

4 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
malate metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving malate, the anion of hydroxybutanedioic acid, a chiral hydroxydicarboxylic acid. The (+) enantiomer is an important intermediate in metabolism as a component of both the TCA cycle and the glyoxylate cycle.
NADH metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid.
oxaloacetate metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving oxaloacetate, the anion of oxobutanedioic acid, an important intermediate in metabolism, especially as a component of the TCA cycle.
tricarboxylic acid cycle A nearly universal metabolic pathway in which the acetyl group of acetyl coenzyme A is effectively oxidized to two CO2 and four pairs of electrons are transferred to coenzymes. The acetyl group combines with oxaloacetate to form citrate, which undergoes successive transformations to isocitrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinyl-CoA, succinate, fumarate, malate, and oxaloacetate again, thus completing the cycle. In eukaryotes the tricarboxylic acid is confined to the mitochondria. See also glyoxylate cycle.
