Crystal structure of PDZ-binding kinase
Structural highlights
FunctionTOPK_HUMAN Phosphorylates MAP kinase p38. Seems to be active only in mitosis. May also play a role in the activation of lymphoid cells. When phosphorylated, forms a complex with TP53, leading to TP53 destabilization and attenuation of G2/M checkpoint during doxorubicin-induced DNA damage.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe overexpression of PDZ-binding kinase/T-LAK cell-originated protein kinase (PBK/TOPK) has been associated with hematologic tumors, breast cancer and various other cancers. However, the three-dimensional structure of PBK has not been solved. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of human PBK, which has two phospho-mimicking mutations T9E and T198E. The structural data indicated that PBK may assemble into an inactive dimer in alkaline conditions. Analytical size-exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifugation confirmed that PBK exists in a conformational transition between dimers and monomers at different pH conditions. Co-IP and kinase assays suggested that the active state of PBK is a monomer and does not form a dimer even under alkaline conditions. These results showed that the conformational transition of PBK is important for its kinase activity regulation. Collectively, our observations may provide a novel starting point for structure-based functional studies.
