Soluble and mitochondrial malic dehydrogenases (MDH) were isolated from root tips of the halophyte Tamarix tetragyna L. grown in the presence and absence of NaCl. The activity of the enzymes isolated from root tips grown in the presence of NaCl was lower than that of the enzymes isolated from roots grown in absence of NaCl. The mitochondrial MDH was much more sensitive to salinity than the soluble MDH. The soluble enzyme from roots grown in NaCl had a higher Km for malate and lower Km for NAD than enzyme from the control roots. Addition of NaCl in vitro at 72 mM significantly stimulated the reductive activity of soluble MDH, while higher NaCl concentrations (240 mM and above) depressed enzyme activity. The inhibition of enzyme activity by various salts was found to be in the order MgCl(2) &gt; NaCl = KCl &gt; Na(2)SO(4). Mannitol at equiosmotic concentrations had no effect. Substrate inhibition, typical for oxaloacetate oxidation, was not observed at high NaCl concentrations in vitro and high substrate concentrations neutralized the inhibitory effect of NaCl. Increased coenzyme concentrations had no effect. In vitro NaCl increased the Km for malate and oxaloacetate already at relatively low concentrations. At the same time NaCl decreased the Km for NAD and NADH. The inhibitory effect of NaCl on enzyme activity seems not to be due to the effect on the Km alone. Soluble and mitochondrial MDH had different responses to pH changes, mitochondrial MDH being more sensitive. Mitochondrial MDH released from the particles had a similar response to that of the entire particles. Changes of pH modified the effect of NaCl on enzyme activity. It was postulated that NaCl apparently induces conformational changes in the enzyme.
