RESUMO
The activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC), as controlled by reversible phosphorylation, was studied in situ with mitochondria oxidizing dfifferent substrates. PDCs from both plant and animal tissues were inactivated when pyruvate became limiting. The PDC did not inactivate in the presence of saturating levels of pyruvate. Calcium stimulated reactivation of PDC in chicken heart but not pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf mitochondria. With pea leaf mitochondria oxidizing malate, inactivation of PDC was pH dependent corresponding to the production of pyruvate via malic enzyme. When pea leaf mitochondria oxidized succinate or glycine, PDC was inactivated. This inactivation was reversed by the addition of pyruvate. Reactivation by pyruvate was enhanced by the addition of thiamine pyrophosphate, as previously observed with nonrespiring mitochondria. These results indicate a major role for pyruvate in regulating the covalent modification of the PDC.
