Elevated plastid levels of glutamine stimulate the activity of glutamate synthase (also known as glutamine:2- oxoglutarate aminotransferase, or GOGAT). Given below some of the statements about GOGAT, which one of the following is incorrect?

#6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Plants contain two types of GOGAT; one accepts electrons from NADH, and the other accepts electrons from ferredoxin (Fd)
  2. The NADH type of the enzyme (NADH-GOGAT) is located in plastids of nonphotosynthetic tissues such as roots or the vascular bundles of developing leaves
  3. The ferredoxin-dependent type of glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) is found in chloroplasts and serves in photorespiratory nitrogen metabolism
  4. This enzyme transfers the amide group of glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate, yielding two molecules of glutamine
