Abstract
The X-ray structure at 2.0-A resolution of the p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2 C-terminal kinase domain revealed a C-terminal autoinhibitory alphaL-helix that was embedded in the kinase scaffold and determines the inactive kinase conformation. We suggest a mechanism of activation through displacement of the alphaL-helix and rearrangement of the conserved residue Glu500, as well as the reorganization of the T-loop into the active conformation.
Figure 1.
The autoinhibitory C-terminal L-helix is shown in yellow. (a) The folding diagram. Disordered residues 715–740 are indicated in gray. (b) The 'cradle' position of the L-helix on the potential surface (positive in blue, negative in red). See Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Table 1 online for details of the structure determination and crystallographic statistics, respectively. The sequence alignment is shown in Supplementary Figure 4 online.
Figure 2.
(a) The CTD superimposed on active PKA (chain A from PDB 1CDK) illustrates the different positions of the D-helix. Boxed region corresponds to boxed region in c. The ligand (inhibitory peptide, purple ribbon) and an ATP analog (AMP-PNP; blue van der Waals surface representation) bound to PKA are included. (b) The CTD RSK2 superimposed on the autoinhibited Ca^2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I (PDB 1A06). (c) A comparison of the active sites of CTD and PKA. Selected RSK2 CTD residues are shown. Only residue Glu127 (analogous to Glu500 in the CTD structure), which differs in the two structures, is shown for PKA. The ATP analog and Mg^2+ ions (balls) are shown in blue.
