In C4 plants of the NADP-malic enzyme type, an abundant, mesophyll cell-localized NADP-malate dehydrogenase (MDH) acts to convert oxaloacetate, the initial product of carbon fixation, to malate before it is shuttled to the bundle sheath. Since NADP-MDH has different but important roles in leaves of C3 and C4 plants, we have cloned and characterized a nearly full-length cDNA encoding NADP-MDH from Flaveria trinervia (C4) to permit comparative structure/expression studies within the genus flaveria. The dicot genus Flaveria includes C3-C4 intermediate species, as well as C3 and C4 species. We show that the previously noted differences in NADP-MDH activity levels among C3, C4, and C3-C4 Flaveria species are in part due to interspecific differences in mRNA accumulation. We also show that the NADP-MDH gene appears to be present as a single copy among different Flaveria species, suggesting that a pre-existing gene has been reregulated during the evolution from C3 to C4 plants to accommodate the abundance and localization requirements of the C4 cycle.
