Abstract
The Ser/Thr protein kinase MAPKAP kinase 2 (MK2) plays a crucial role in inflammation. We determined the structure of the kinase domain of MK2 in complex with a low molecular mass inhibitor in two different crystal forms, obtained from soaking and co-crystallization. To our knowledge, these are the first structures of MK2 showing the binding mode of an inhibitor with high binding affinity (IC50 8.5 nM). The two crystal forms revealed conformational flexibility in the binding site and extend the experimental basis for rational drug design. Crystal form-1 contained one MK2 molecule per asymmetric unit. Form-2 contained 12 molecules, which arrange into two different types of MK2 trimers. One of them may serve as a model for an intermediate state during substrate phosphorylation, as each MK2 monomer places its activation segment into the substrate peptide binding groove of the trimer neighbor.

MK2 crystals and 2F[o]–F[c] electron density maps (contoured at 1.3 σ) for the inhibitor, in (a) for the cubic crystal form-1, in (b) for the orthorhombic crystal form-2 (molecule A). Despite the low resolution, the ligand could be placed unequivocally in both crystal forms.

In (a) crystal form-1, in (b) molecule-A of crystal form-2. Black dotted lines represent hydrogen bonds. Thick orange dotted lines indicate π–π stacking between compound-1 and Asp142, and two weak hydrogen bonds (C-H···O to Glu139 in (a) and (b) and N-H···π to Asp207 in (b)).
