Gene Description

GLDP1 (At4g33010) encodes one of the two Arabidopsis P proteins (glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), EC 1.4.4.2) of the mitochondrial glycine decarboxylase complex (GDC, glycine cleavage system). The PLP-dependent homodimeric enzyme binds glycine through its pyridoxal phosphate cofactor, releases CO2 and transfers the remaining aminomethyl group to the lipoyl arm of the H protein; the T and L proteins then complete the conversion of glycine to 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate, NH3 and NADH. GDC, with serine hydroxymethyltransferase, forms the mitochondrial part of the photorespiratory C2 cycle and also supplies one-carbon units. GLDP1 is the predominant P protein in leaves (about four-fold more than GLDP2 in the leaf complex) and carries the larger share of photorespiratory glycine decarboxylation, but it is functionally redundant with GLDP2: single mutants grow normally, whereas gldp1 gldp2 double mutants arrest as seedlings even at high CO2. GDC activity is inhibited by S-nitrosylation and glutathionylation of GLDP1 cysteines.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Leaf RNA interactome capture (ptRIC) recovered glycine dehydrogenase among UV-crosslinked poly(A) RNA-associated proteins.
Reason: The paper reports the protein only as one of several metabolic enzymes newly captured in the leaf RBPome, with no follow-up validation, no mapped RNA-binding region and no defined mRNA target. The P protein is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme, and the observation does not establish a biological mRNA-binding function. The detection may be real but is not informative about gene function, so the annotation is kept but flagged as an over-interpretation of a screen.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:32344669
Additional moonlighting enzymes were identified in the leaf RBPome, such as COBALAMIN-INDEPENDENT METHIONINE SYNTHASE, (S)-2-HYDROXY-ACID OXIDASE, GLYCINE DEHYDROGENASE and GLUTAMATE-GLYOXYLATE AMINOTRANSFERASE, which, to our knowledge, have not previously been linked to RNA biology

ACCEPT
Summary: PAINT inference from node PTN000206531 (GcvP family) of glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity for GLDP1.
Reason: GLDP1 (At4g33010) is one of the two Arabidopsis P proteins of the glycine decarboxylase complex, the PLP-dependent enzyme that decarboxylates glycine and transfers the aminomethyl group to the lipoyl arm of the H protein (RHEA:24304, EC 1.4.4.2). It belongs to the GcvP family, and catalytic activity of both Arabidopsis GLDP isoforms is reported (GLDP2 weaker than GLDP1). This is the core molecular function. The IBA node placement is sound: the plant P proteins sit within the eukaryotic mitochondrial GcvP clade and retain the PLP-lysine.

Summary: Tandem affinity purification of 14-3-3 omega (At1g78300) complexes recovered GLDP1 among ~121 putative clients.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The 14-3-3 TAP-MS screen lists GLDP1 as a putative client but establishes no specific molecular function for GLDP1; whether a cytosolic 14-3-3 contacts the precursor or the mature matrix protein is not addressed. Removal reflects the protein-binding policy, not a claim that the co-purification is false.

Summary: High-throughput proteomic detection of GLDP1 in a crude leaf cytosolic (size-exclusion) fraction preparation.
Reason: GLDP1 is an abundant mitochondrial matrix enzyme with a mitochondrial transit peptide and an experimentally established mitochondrial location. A single bulk-proteomics detection in a crude leaf cytosolic (size-exclusion) fraction fraction is best explained by carry-over of this very abundant leaf protein, and no targeted study places the P protein in this compartment. The crude cytosolic fraction is not depleted of broken-organelle matrix proteins. Under the ARATH corpus convention (projects/ARATH/organelle-audit.md, rule 3) a high-throughput proteomics hit for a protein localized elsewhere is marked as over-annotated rather than removed: the detection is a real observation, most likely contamination, but no targeted experiment excludes the compartment.

Reason: Abstract-only cache; the GLDP1-specific result cannot be checked.

Summary: Mass-spectrometric stoichiometry of the Arabidopsis leaf glycine decarboxylase complex detects both P-protein isoforms (GCS-P1 = GLDP1, GCS-P2 = GLDP2) as components of the complex.
Reason: GLDP1 has no cellular-component annotation to the glycine cleavage complex in GOA, although its paralogous H protein (GDCH) does. The P protein is a defining subunit of the P/H/T/L complex, all four proteins are required for activity, and the Arabidopsis leaf GDC contains GLDP1 and GLDP2 in a 4:1 ratio. Abstract-only cache, but the abstract states the measurement directly.

Summary: gldp1 mutants accumulate leaf glycine under photorespiratory conditions; GLDP1 carries most of the photorespiratory glycine decarboxylation load.
Reason: Participation test: GLDP1 catalyses a step of the photorespiratory C2 cycle (mitochondrial glycine decarboxylation), so it does part of the work of the process rather than being required for or consumed by it. Comparator check (QuickGO, Arabidopsis, GO:0009853): enzymes catalysing other C2-cycle steps carry the term (SHM1 IMP, GLYK IMP/IBA, HPR TAS, GGAT1 TAS, PLGG1 IMP), whereas none of the GDC subunits (GLDP1, GLDP2, GDCH, GDCST) do; this absence looks like a gap rather than a convention. The term is not an ancestor or descendant of GO:0019464.

Core Functions

PLP-dependent glycine decarboxylation as a P protein of the mitochondrial glycine decarboxylase complex: releases CO2 from glycine and loads the aminomethyl group onto the lipoyl arm of the H protein, the committed step of glycine cleavage used in the photorespiratory C2 cycle and in one-carbon metabolism; the major leaf isoform.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Do GLDP1 and GLDP2 differ in kinetic properties or regulation (e.g. InLYP1-dependent turnover of GLDP2, redox modification) in ways that matter for non-photosynthetic one-carbon metabolism in roots, where GLDP2 transcripts dominate?

Q: Should the GDC subunits (P, H, T, L) be annotated to GO:0009853 photorespiration in Arabidopsis, as other C2-cycle enzymes are, or is GO:0019464 considered sufficient by TAIR curators?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Purify recombinant GLDP1, GLDP2 and co-expressed heterodimers and measure H-protein-dependent glycine decarboxylation kinetics.

Hypothesis: GLDP1 and GLDP2 homo- and heterodimers differ in glycine decarboxylase activity and in their interaction with the H protein.

Type: enzyme kinetics
