Abstract
The Ser/Thr kinase MARK2 phosphorylates tau protein at sites that cause detachment from microtubules in Alzheimer neurofibrillary degeneration. Homologs of MARK2 include Par-1 in C. elegans and Drosophila, which generates embryonic polarity. We report the X-ray structure of the catalytic and ubiquitin-associated domains (UBA) of human MARK2. The activity was altered by mutations in the ATP binding site and/or activation loop. The catalytic domain shows the small and large lobes typical of kinases. The substrate cleft is in an inactive, open conformation in the inactivated and the wild-type structure. The UBA domain is attached via a taut linker to the large lobe of the kinase domain and leans against a hydrophobic patch on the small lobe. The UBA structure is unusual because the orientation of its third helix is inverted, relative to previous structures. Possible implications of the structure for the regulation of kinase activity are discussed.

Figure 7. Common Docking Domain and ED Site of MAP Kinases Compared to MARK2
The structures of (A) MARK2 and (B) ERK2 (PDB code 2ERK [Canagarajah et al., 1997]) are shown in the same orientations after least-squares superposition of 35 residues from helix E to the catalytic loop. The common docking domain (CD, in red) according to Tanoue and Nishida (2003) is C terminal to the kinase domain and corresponds in MARK to the first half of the tether connecting the kinase domain to the UBA domain (residues vert, similar 305-315). The C-terminal extensions following the CD domain (linker and UBA domain in MARK2) are shown in purple. Characteristic for the CD domain is a cluster of negatively charged residues exposed to the surface, located in a bulge at the end of the catalytic domain (stick model representation).
