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.
