A novel Arabidopsis thaliana gene (AtNADK-1) was identified based on its response to radiation and oxidative stress. Levels of AtNADK-1 mRNA increase eight-fold following exposure to ionising radiation and are enhanced three-fold by treatment with hydrogen peroxide. The gene also appears to be differentially regulated during compatible and incompatible plant-pathogen interactions in response to Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. The full-length AtNADK-1 cDNA encodes a 58-kDa protein that shows high sequence homology to the recently defined family of NAD(H) kinases. Recombinant AtNADK-1 utilises ATP to phosphorylate both NAD and NADH, showing a two-fold preference for NADH. Using reverse genetics, we demonstrate that AtNADK-1 deficient plants display enhanced sensitivity to gamma irradiation and to paraquat-induced oxidative stress. Our results indicate that this novel NAD(H) kinase may contribute to the maintenance of redox status in Arabidopsis thaliana.
