Abstract
ATP and reductant for nitrogen fixation are produced in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. The condensation of acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate by citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7) is the first step of the TCA cycle. Citrate synthase occurs in two forms, a large (240–290 kDa) enzyme in Gram negative bacteria and a smaller (90–100 kDa) enzyme in Gram positive bacteria and eukaryotes. The larger enzyme is inhibited by NADH, whereas the smaller enzyme is inhibited by ATP and insensitive to NADH.KeywordsPlant Physiology21st CenturyNitrogen FixationPotent InhibitorTricarboxylic AcidThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
