Enzyme redundancy and the importance of 2-oxoglutarate in plant ammonium assimilation

Ammonium is the reduced nitrogen form available to plants for assimilation into amino acids. This is achieved by the GS/GOGAT pathway that requires carbon skeletons in the form of 2-oxoglutarate. To date, the exact enzymatic origin of this organic acid for plant ammonium assimilation is unknown. Iso...
