MAP2K是位于三层MAP激酶模块中心的双特异性蛋白激酶。具有磷酸化位点模拟天冬氨酸突变的MAP2KMEK6(MEK6/ΔN/DD)的激动域结构已在2.3o分辨率下得到解决。该结构揭示了一种自抑制的细长椭球二聚体。尽管有类似磷酸盐的突变,但该酶基于结构队列采用不活跃的构象。凝胶过滤和小角X射线散射分析证实,结晶学观察到的椭球二聚体是MEK6/ΔN/DD的特征,是溶液中全长未磷酸化的野生型MEK6。该界面包括每个亚基的磷酸结合带,激活环的一部分,以及N-末端叶中对称相关的精氨酸残基之间罕见的“精氨酸堆栈”。这种自身抑制的结构可能对活性的MAP2Ks具有特异性。二聚体也可能在未磷酸化的MEK6中发挥功能,阻止不适当的激酶激活环的磷酸化。
MAP2Ks are dual-specificity protein kinases functioning at the center of three-tiered MAP kinase modules. The structure of kinase domain of the MAP2K MEK6 with phosphorylation site mimetic aspartic acid mutations (MEK6/ΔN/DD) has been solved at 2.3 Å resolution. The structure reveals an autoinhibited elongated ellipsoidal dimer. The enzyme adopts an inactive conformation, based upon structural queues, despite the phosphate-mimetic mutations. Gel filtration and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis confirm that the crystallographically observed ellipsoidal dimer is a feature of MEK6/ΔN/DD and full length unphosphorylated wild-type MEK6 in solution. The interface includes the phosphate binding ribbon of each subunit, part of the activation loop, and a rare “Arginine Stack” between symmetry related arginine residues in the N-terminal lobe. The autoinhibited structure likely confers specificity on active MAP2Ks. The dimer may also serve the function in unphosphorylated MEK6 of preventing activation loop phosphorylation by inappropriate kinases.
