Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK), a negative regulator of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex (mtPDC), plays a pivotal role in controlling mtPDC activity, and hence, the TCA cycle and cell respiration. This report describes the cloning of a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase cDNA (AtPDHK) from Arabidopsis thaliana and focuses on the effects of antisense down-regulation of its expression on plant growth and development. The deduced amino acid sequence of AtPDHK exhibits extensive similarity to other plant and mammalian PDHKs, containing conserved domains typical of two-component histidine protein kinases. The Escherichia coli expressed AtPDHK specifically phosphorylated mammalian PDH E1 in a time-dependent manner. Antisense expression of the AtPDHK cDNA led to marked elevation of mtPDC activity in transgenic plants with increases ranging from 137% to 330% compared to control plants. Immunoblot analyses performed with a monoclonal antibody to the E1α mtPDH component (the subunit phosphorylated by PDHK) indicated that the increased mtPDC activity was not the result of an increase in the level of PDH protein. MtPDC from transgenic plants showed a reduced sensitivity to ATP-dependent inactivation compared to that observed in wild-type plants. Collectively, these data suggest that the antisense partial silencing of the negative regulator, PDHK, was responsible for the increased mtPDC activity observed in the antisense PDHK plants. Transgenic plants with partially repressed AtPDHK also displayed altered vegetative growth with reduced accumulation of vegetative tissues, early flower development and shorter generation time. The potential role for AtPDHK gene manipulation in crop improvement is discussed.
