Article Synopsis
- The alternative oxidase (AOX) serves as a nonphosphorylating route in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, offering flexibility in energy and carbon metabolism, with its activity influenced by the mitochondrial thioredoxin system.
- In a study involving Arabidopsis knockout mutants lacking mitochondrial trxo1, it was found that AOX activity increases under moderate light, while its redox state remains unchanged, indicating that thiol redox systems maintain AOX in a reduced state without directly affecting its activity.
- Under high light conditions, the AOX and photosynthesis activities are similar in the trxo1 mutants, but redox imbalance appears to limit photorespiration, particularly in the process of glycine decar
