Structure of rat BCKD kinase: nucleotide-induced domain communication in a mitochondrial protein kinase.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Mitochondrial protein kinases (mPKs) are molecular switches that down-regulate the oxidation of branched-chain alpha-ketoacids and pyruvate. Elevated levels of these metabolites are implicated in disease states such as insulin-resistant Type II diabetes, branched-chain ketoaciduria, and primary lactic acidosis. We report a three-dimensional structure of a member of the mPK family, rat branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase kinase (BCK). BCK features a characteristic nucleotide-binding domain and a four-helix bundle domain. These two domains are reminiscent of modules found in protein histidine kinases (PHKs), which are involved in two-component signal transduction systems. Unlike PHKs, BCK dimerizes through direct interaction of two opposing nucleotide-binding domains. Nucleotide binding to BCK is uniquely mediated by both potassium and magnesium. Binding of ATP induces disorder-order transitions in a loop region at the nucleotide-binding site. These structural changes lead to the formation of a quadruple aromatic stack in the interface between the nucleotide-binding domain and the four-helix bundle domain, where they induce a movement of the top portion of two helices. Phosphotransfer induces further ordering of the loop region, effectively trapping the reaction product ADP, which explains product inhibition in mPKs. The BCK structure is a prototype for all mPKs and will provide a framework for structure-assisted inhibitor design for this family of kinases.

Fig. 1. The mammalian protein kinase BCK. (A) Overall view of the rat BCK dimer with the phosphotransfer reaction product ADP shown as ball-and-stick model. Strands in the K domain are not labeled. (B) Same as A, but rotated 90° around the horizontal line. All figures were made with BOBSCRIPT (46) and POVRAY (www.povray.org). (C) Sequence alignment of mitochondrial protein kinases. Similar residues are colored (yellow, hydrophobic; blue, basic; red, acidic; green, others). Residues observed in the rat BCK structure are depicted below the sequences (red, helices; blue, strands; gray, others); the conserved nucleotide-binding motifs are indicated above the consensus sequence. (D) Residues in the rat BCK dimer interface. Water molecules participate in dimer formation only at the periphery, but not in the core.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
