ABSTRACT

Cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cytMDH) was captured by thioredoxin affinity chromatography as a possible target protein of cytosolic thioredoxin (Yamazaki, D., Motohashi, K., Kasama, T., Hara, Y., and Hisabori, T. (2004) Plant Cell Physiol. 45, 18–27). To further dissect this interaction, we aimed to determine whether cytMDH can interact with the cytosolic thioredoxin and whether its activity is redox-regulated. We obtained the active recombinant cytMDH that could be oxidized and rendered inactive. Inactivation was reversed by incubation with low concentrations of dithiothreitol in the presence of recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana thioredoxin-h1. Inactivation of cytMDH was found to result from formation of a homodimer. By cysteine mutant analysis and peptide mapping analysis, we were able to determine that the cytMDH homodimer occurs by formation of a disulfide bond via the Cys330 residue. Moreover, we found this bond to be efficiently reduced by the reduced form of thioredoxin-h1. These results demonstrate that the oxidized form cytMDH dimer is a preferable target protein of the reduced form thioredoxin-h1 as suggested by thioredoxin affinity chromatography.
