physiological function | mitochondrial PDC E1 contributes to polar auxin transport during organ development. MAB1 encodes a mitochondrial PDC E1beta subunit that can form both a homodimer and a heterodimer with alpha-subunit IAR4. The MAB1 mutation impairs MAB1 homodimerization, reduces the abundance of IAR4 and IAR4L, weakens PDC enzymatic activity, and diminishes mitochondrial respiration. Mutation leads to significant changes in metabolites including amino acids, and an accumulation of Ala. In MAB1 mutants and seedlings where the TCA cycle is pharmacologically blocked, reduced abundance of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers is found | Arabidopsis thaliana |
