Protein—protein interactions play an important role in the regulation of enzymic activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). It is generally believed that the binding of PDK to the inner lipoyl-bearing domain L2 of the transacetylase component E2 of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex largely determines the level of kinase activity. In the present study, we characterized the interaction between the individual isoenzymes of PDK (PDK1—PDK4) and monomeric L2 domain of human E2, as well as the effect of this interaction on kinase activity. It was found that PDK isoenzymes are markedly different with respect to their affinities for L2. PDK3 demonstrated a very tight binding, which persisted during isolation of PDK3—L2 complexes using size-exclusion chromatography. Binding of PDK1 and PDK2 was readily reversible with the apparent dissociation constant of approx. 10μM for both isoenzymes. PDK4 had a greatly reduced capacity for L2 binding (relative order PDK3>PDK1 = PDK2>PDK4). Monomeric L2 domain alone had very little effect on the activities of either PDK1 or PDK2. In contrast, L2 caused a 3-fold increase in PDK3 activity and approx. 37% increase in PDK4 activity. These results strongly suggest that the interactions between the individual isoenzymes of PDK and L2 domain are isoenzyme-specific and might be among the major factors that determine the level of kinase activity of particular isoenzyme towards the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex.

The kinase-activator protein (KAP) of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) has been purified approx. 2250-fold from high-speed supernatants of mitochondrial extracts from the liver of 48 h-starved rats. Purified KAP demonstrates kinase activity towards both the E1 component of PDC and towards a synthetic peptide corresponding to the major phosphorylation site on E1. Furthermore, the activities of KAP and PDC kinase co-fractionate through several stages of purification and have the same apparent mass. We conclude that KAP is not a distinct protein, but is kinase which has dissociated from the complex.

Tissue distribution and kinetic parameters for the four isoenzymes of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK1, PDK2, PDK3 and PDK4) identified thus far in mammals were analysed. It appeared that expression of these isoenzymes occurs in a tissue-specific manner. The mRNA for isoenzyme PDK1 was found almost exclusively in rat heart. The mRNA for PDK3 was most abundantly expressed in rat testis. The message for PDK2 was present in all tissues tested but the level was low in spleen and lung. The mRNA for PDK4 was predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart. The specific activities of the isoenzymes varied 25-fold, from 50 nmol/min per mg for PDK2 to 1250 nmol/min per mg for PDK3. Apparent Ki values of the isoenzymes for the synthetic analogue of pyruvate, dichloroacetate, varied 40-fold, from 0.2 mM for PDK2 to 8 mM for PDK3. The isoenzymes were also different with respect to their ability to respond to NADH and NADH plus acetyl-CoA. NADH alone stimulated the activities of PDK1 and PDK2 by 20 and 30% respectively. NADH plus acetyl-CoA activated these isoenzymes nearly 200 and 300%. Under comparable conditions, isoenzyme PDK3 was almost completely unresponsive to NADH, and NADH plus acetyl-CoA caused inhibition rather than activation. Isoenzyme PDK4 was activated almost 2-fold by NADH, but NADH plus acetyl-CoA did not activate above the level seen with NADH alone. These results provide the first evidence that the unique tissue distribution and kinetic characteristics of the isoenzymes of PDK are among the major factors responsible for tissue-specific regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity.

ABSTRACTA previous study reported that the Tn5-induced poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB)-leaky mutantRalstonia eutrophaH1482 showed a reduced PHB synthesis rate and significantly lower dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DHLDH) activity than the wild-typeR. eutrophaH16 but similar growth behavior. Insertion of Tn5was localized in thepdhLgene encoding the DHLDH (E3 component) of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Taking advantage of the available genome sequence ofR. eutrophaH16, observations were verified and further detailed analyses and experiments were done.In silicogenome analysis revealed thatR. eutrophapossesses all five known types of 2-oxoacid multienzyme complexes and five DHLDH-coding genes. Of these DHLDHs, only PdhL harbors an amino-terminal lipoyl domain. Furthermore, insertion of Tn5inpdhLof mutant H1482 disrupted the carboxy-terminal dimerization domain, thereby causing synthesis of a truncated PdhL lacking this essential region, obviously leading to an inactive enzyme. The defined ΔpdhLdeletion mutant ofR. eutrophaexhibited the same phenotype as the Tn5mutant H1482; this excludes polar effects as the cause of the phenotype of the Tn5mutant H1482. However, insertion of Tn5or deletion ofpdhLdecreases DHLDH activity, probably negatively affecting PDHC activity, causing the mutant phenotype. Moreover, complementation experiments showed that different plasmid-encoded E3 components ofR. eutrophaH16 or of other bacteria, likeBurkholderia cepacia, were able to restore the wild-type phenotype at least partially. Interestingly, the E3 component ofB. cepaciapossesses an amino-terminal lipoyl domain, like the wild-type H16. A comparison of the proteomes of the wild-type H16 and of the mutant H1482 revealed striking differences and allowed us to reconstruct at least partially the impressive adaptations ofR. eutrophaH1482 to the loss of PdhL on the cellular level.
