Figure 1. Comparison of the Fold of Autoinhibited CaM Kinase I with cAPK(A) Ribbon drawing of CaM kinase I (CaMKI; left) and cAPK (right). The structures of autoinhibited CaMKI and cAPK are drawn with their C-terminal lobes (helical domain at bottom) in similar orientations. The cAPK structure is that of [69], with the PKI peptide inhibitor colored orange and the ATP shown in ball and stick form (entry 1ATP in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank). cAPK has its two domains in a closed conformation whereas the CaMKI active site is opened by an 18° relative rotation of the domains, with respect to cAPK. The regulatory C-terminal sequence of CaMKI, containing the autoinhibitory region, is colored red (residues 285–316). The ATP-binding glycine-rich loop or P loop (colored green in both structures; residues 23–36 in CaMKI, 46–59 in cAPK) covers the ATP molecule in cAPK. In CaMKI, the P loop interacts with the autoinhibitory region and adopts a distinct conformation that distorts the ATP-binding site. Two disordered regions of CaMKI in the crystal structure are indicated with dotted lines (ten residues, 54–63, not modeled in the N-terminal domain, and eighteen residues, 164–181, in the C-terminal domain, are indicated by the corresponding number of dots). The region of CaM kinase I that is boxed is shown in detail in (B).(B) Stereo-diagram showing the interaction between the CaMKI regulatory segment (red, residues 285–316) and the catalytic core of the enzyme (gray). Selected residues of the regulatory region are drawn in white, and residues from the catalytic core are colored blue. Figure prepared using the programs MOLSCRIPT ([41]) and Raster3D ( [2]).
