CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF A NOVEL ADP-DEPENDENT GLUCOKINASE FROM THERMOCOCCUS LITORALIS
Overview
BACKGROUND: ATP is the most common phosphoryl group donor for kinases., However, certain hyperthermophilic archaea such as Thermococcus litoralis, and Pyrococcus furiosus utilize unusual ADP-dependent glucokinases and, phosphofructokinases in their glycolytic pathways. These ADP-dependent, kinases are homologous to each other but show no sequence similarity to, any of the hitherto known ATP-dependent enzymes. RESULTS: We solved the, crystal structure at 2.3 A resolution of an ADP-dependent glucokinase from, T. litoralis (tlGK) complexed with ADP. The overall structure can be, divided into large and small alpha/beta domains, and the ADP molecule is, buried in a shallow pocket in the large domain. Unexpectedly, the, structure was similar to those of two ATP-dependent kinases, ribokinase, and adenosine kinase. Comparison based on three-dimensional structure, revealed that several motifs important both in structure and function are, conserved, and the recognition of the alpha- and beta-phosphate of the ADP, in the tlGK was almost identical with the recognition of the beta- and, gamma-phosphate of ATP in these ATP-dependent kinases. CONCLUSIONS:, Noticeable points of our study are the first structure of ADP-dependent, kinase, the structural similarity to members of the ATP-dependent, ribokinase family, its rare nucleotide specificity caused by a shift in, nucleotide binding position by one phosphate unit, and identification of, the residues that discriminate ADP- and ATP-dependence. The strict, conservation of the binding site for the terminal and adjacent phosphate, moieties suggests a common ancestral origin of both the ATP- and, ADP-dependent kinases.
