Crystal Structure of RII alpha Dimerization/Docking domain of PKA bound to the D-AKAP2 peptide
Overview
A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) target PKA to specific microdomains by, using an amphipathic helix that docks to N-terminal dimerization and, docking (D/D) domains of PKA regulatory (R) subunits. To understand, specificity, we solved the crystal structure of the helical motif from, D-AKAP2, a dual-specific AKAP, bound to the RIIalpha D/D domain. The 1.6, Angstrom structure reveals how this dynamic, hydrophobic docking site is, assembled. A stable, hydrophobic docking groove is formed by the helical, interface of two RIIalpha protomers. The flexible N terminus of one, protomer is then recruited to the site, anchored to the peptide through, two essential isoleucines. The other N terminus is disordered. This, asymmetry provides greater possibilities for AKAP docking. Although there, is strong discrimination against RIalpha in the N terminus of the AKAP, helix, the hydrophobic groove discriminates against RIIalpha. RIalpha, with a cavity in the groove, can accept a bulky tryptophan, whereas, RIIalpha requires valine.
