Arabidopsis mutant with reduced expression of the Lys biosynthesis enzyme L,L-diaminopimelate aminotransferase (dapat)

ABSTRACT: Despite the importance of amino acids as basic components of proteins, amino acids also serve as substrates for multiple other metabolic pathways, such as the TCA cycle that regulates energy homeostasis. The response to deficiency in the biosynthesis of specific amino acids (also termed “amino acid starvation”) has been studied extensively in yeast (See for example Petti et. al., 2011 Survival of starving yeast is correlated with oxidative stress response and non-respiratory mitochondria function. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108: 1089-1098). In contrast, very little is known about the metabolic responses to deficiency in the biosynthesis of amino acids in plants. A number of recent reports have already shown that catabolism of amino acids can significantly contribute to cellular energy
