Figure 2.
Figure 2. Sky1p and SRPK1 share a conserved substrate docking groove. (a) Residues in Sky1p docking groove involved in the interaction with the peptide/ADP composite substrate. Residues labeled in cyan (I653, K657and W659) and red (K668) were mutated to alanine in the Sky1p QM mutant. Green (D601, D617 and E624) and red residues (K668) were mutated to alanine in the Sky1p 4M mutant. Residues labeled in blue (L603, Y612, Q621 and V664) make non-specific interactions with either the peptide or ADP. Note that residues D617 and E624 form hydrogen bonds with the adenine ring of ADP. (b) Interactions between SRPK1 docking groove and a similar peptide as in (a) are shown. (c) The sequence alignment of Sky1p and SRPK1 docking grooves shows that the region is highly conserved between Sky1p and SRPK1. Identical residues are shaded. (d) Kinetic analysis shows that the docking groove of Sky1p is essential for substrate phosphorylation.
