Popis: | NADP-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase is a key cytosolic enzyme that links C and N metabolism by supplying C skeletons for primary N assimilation in plants. We report the characterization of the transcript Mc-ICDH1 encoding an NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH, EC 1.1.1.42) from the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L., focussing on salt-dependent regulation of the enzyme. The activity of NADP-ICDH in plants adapted to high salinity increased in leaves and decreased in roots. By transcript analyses and Western-type hybridizations, expression of Mc-ICDH1 was found to be stimulated in leaves in salt-adapted M. crystallinum. By immunocytological analyses, NADP-ICDH proteins were localized to most cell types with strongest expression in epidermal cells and in the vascular tissue. In leaves of salt-adapted plants, signal intensities increased in mesophyll cells. In contrast to Mc-ICDH1, the activity and transcript abundance of ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT, EC 1.4.7.1), which is the key enzyme of N assimilation and biosynthesis of amino acids, decreased in leaves in response to salt stress. The physiological roles of NADP-ICDH and Fd-GOGAT in the adaptation of plants to high salinity are discussed. |
