ME1 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C015407.2, designated ME1, is a melon (Cucumis melo) gene on chromosome 3 that encodes a malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) enzyme with NAD+ and NADP+ activity (EC 1.1.1.40), also possessing oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity and binding NAD and metal ions. The product localises to the mitochondrial lumen and cytoplasm. ME1 is associated with malate metabolism, the TCA cycle, and the biosynthesis of sucrose, hormones, carotenoids, and ethylene. It is linked to fruit development and ripening, as well as auxin and abscisic acid signalling and signal transduction. Related genes in other species link the family to similar metabolic and developmental processes.
