Abstract
Aminoglycoside phosphotransferase (3')-IIIa (APH) is a bacterial kinase that confers antibiotic resistance to many pathogenic bacteria and shares structural homology with eukaryotic protein kinases. We report here the crystal structure of APH, trapped in an inactive conformation by a tailor-made inhibitory ankyrin repeat (AR) protein, at 2.15 A resolution. The inhibitor was selected from a combinatorial library of designed AR proteins. The AR protein binds the C-terminal lobe of APH and thereby stabilizes three alpha helices, which are necessary for substrate binding, in a significantly displaced conformation. BIAcore analysis and kinetic enzyme inhibition experiments are consistent with the proposed allosteric inhibition mechanism. In contrast to most small-molecule kinase inhibitors, the AR proteins are not restricted to active site binding, allowing for higher specificity. Inactive conformations of pharmaceutically relevant enzymes, as can be elucidated with the approach presented here, represent powerful starting points for rational drug design.

Figure 2. Crystal Structure of the mAPH in Complex with the AR Protein AR_3a
(A) Stereo view of the AB heterodimer of the mAPH/AR_3a complex. The mAPH is shown in orange, and the AR_3a is shown in light blue. AR_3a binds to the C-terminal lobe of the mAPH and stabilizes an inactive conformation.
(B) Asymmetric mAPH pseudo-homodimer found in the crystal of the mAPH/AR_3a complex.
(C) Symmetric wtAPH dimer found in the wtAPH crystal.
(D) Stereo view of the superposition of the mAPH hetereodimer AB (orange) and BC (light blue).
(E) wtAPH in the kanamycin A bound form (PDB: 1L8T1L8T). ADP and kanamycin A are labeled.
(F) mAPH/AR_3a AB heterodimer in the same orientation as the wtAPH in (E).
