Photorespiration: Photosynthesis in the Mitochondria

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 17))

Summary

In addition to normal respiratory functions plant mitochondria also serve a unique role in photorespiration, the con-version of glycine to serine, C02, and NH3. Thus this respiratory organelle has a major role in photosynthetic carbon and nitrogen metabolism in the leaves of C3 plants. The key enzyme in this reaction is the glycine decarboxylase multienzyme complex that is the predominant protein in the mitochondria from these tissues. Expression of the component proteins of the complex is controlled by light-dependent and tissue-specific mechanisms that are similar to those that regulate the expression of the photosynthetic genes in the chloroplast. The NADH produced by mitochondrial glycine oxidation is reoxidized both inside and outside of the mitochondria, and the large amount of reducing equivalents produced in the light have profound effects on the mitochondrial, cytosolic, and peroxisomal metabolism.
