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.
