Enzyme reactions

• Enzyme class 1: Chain A: E.C.3.6.4.- - ?????
• Enzyme class 2: Chain B: E.C.2.7.11.34 - NEK6-subfamily protein kinase.
• Reaction:
  1. L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[protein] + ADP + H⁺
  2. L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[protein] + ADP + H⁺

L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[protein] (Bound ligand (Het Group name = ADP) corresponds exactly) + ADP + H(+)

L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[protein] (Bound ligand (Het Group name = ADP) corresponds exactly) + ADP + H(+)

Note, where more than one E.C. class is given (as above), each may correspond to a different protein domain or, in the case of polyprotein precursors, to a different mature protein.

ABSTRACT

The NLRP3 inflammasome can be activated by stimuli that include nigericin, uric acid crystals, amyloid-β fibrils and extracellular ATP. The mitotic kinase NEK7 licenses the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in interphase. Here we report a cryo-electron microscopy structure of inactive human NLRP3 in complex with NEK7, at a resolution of 3.8 Å. The earring-shaped NLRP3 consists of curved leucine-rich-repeat and globular NACHT domains, and the C-terminal lobe of NEK7 nestles against both NLRP3 domains. Structural recognition between NLRP3 and NEK7 is confirmed by mutagenesis both in vitro and in cells. Modelling of an active NLRP3-NEK7 conformation based on the NLRC4 inflammasome predicts an additional contact between an NLRP3-bound NEK7 and a neighbouring NLRP3. Mutations to this interface abolish the ability of NEK7 or NLRP3 to rescue NLRP3 activation in NEK7-knockout or NLRP3-knockout cells. These data suggest that NEK7 bridges adjacent NLRP3 subunits with bipartite interactions to mediate the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
