During the lаrvаl develоpment оf Drоsophilа melanogaster, energy production and redox balance are vital for sustaining rapid growth. The metabolic machinery that supports this growth includes two enzymes with overlapping functions: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH1). These enzymes help maintain glycolytic flux and redox balance under aerobic conditions, reminiscent of the Warburg effect observed in tumor cells. LDH typically catalyzes the interconversion of pyruvate and lactate, simultaneously oxidizing NADH to regenerate NAD⁺, which is required to sustain glycolysis. Interestingly, Drosophila larvae lacking LDH were able to maintain normal developmental timing and body size. Metabolomic analysis of these mutants revealed a significant increase in glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), suggesting compensation through the GPDH1 pathway. GPDH1 catalyzes the reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to G3P using NADH, also regenerating NAD⁺. However, when both LDH and GPDH1 were genetically ablated, the double mutants exhibited developmental delay, impaired glycolysis, elevated NADH/NAD⁺ ratios, and eventual lethality. This synthetic lethality highlights the compensatory and cooperative roles of LDH and GPDH1 in carbohydrate metabolism. The glycerol phosphate shuttle also plays a role in transferring reducing equivalents into mitochondria via mitochondrial GPDH, linking cytosolic NADH oxidation to mitochondrial FAD reduction. The interplay between these enzymes underscores how redundancy and flexibility in metabolic pathways are essential for developmental robustness in metabolically active tissues. Which of the following is most consistent with the observed phenotype of double LDH and GPDH1 mutants in Drosophila larvae?
