While in heterotrophic cells and in darkness mitochondria serve as main producers of energy, during photosynthesis this function is transferred to chloroplasts and the main role of mitochondria in bioenergetics turns to be the balance of the level of phosphorylation of adenylates and of reduction of pyridine nucleotides to avoid over-energization of the cell and optimize major metabolic fluxes. This is achieved via the establishment and regulation of local equilibrium of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzymes malate dehydrogenase and fumarase in one branch and aconitase and isocitrate dehydrogenase in another branch. In the conditions of elevation of redox level, the TCA cycle is transformed into a non-cyclic open structure (hemicycle) leading to the export of the tricarboxylic acid (citrate) to the cytosol and to the accumulation of the dicarboxylic acids (malate and fumarate). While the buildup of NADPH in chloroplasts provides operation of the malate valve leading to establishment of NADH/NAD+ ratios in different cell compartments, the production of NADH by mitochondria drives citrate export by establishing conditions for the operation of the citrate valve. The latter regulates the intercompartmental NADPH/NADP+ ratio and contributes to the biosynthesis of amino acids and other metabolic products during photosynthesis.
