STRUCTURE OF A FAST KINESIN: IMPLICATIONS FOR ATPASE MECHANISM AND INTERACTIONS WITH MICROTUBULES
Overview
We determined the crystal structure of the motor domain of the fast fungal, kinesin from Neurospora crassa (NcKin). The structure has several unique, features. (i) Loop 11 in the switch 2 region is ordered and enables one to, describe the complete nucleotide-binding pocket, including three, inter-switch salt bridges between switch 1 and 2. (ii) Loop 9 in the, switch 1 region bends outwards, making the nucleotide-binding pocket very, wide. The displacement in switch 1 resembles that of the G-protein ras, complexed with its guanosine nucleotide exchange factor. (iii) Loop 5 in, the entrance to the nucleotide-binding pocket is remarkably long and, interacts with the ribose of ATP. (iv) The linker and neck region is not, well defined, indicating that it is mobile. (v) Image reconstructions ... [(full description)]
