Crystal structure of Litopenaeus vannamei arginine kinase in binary complex with arginine
Structural highlights
FunctionKARG0_PENVA Catalyzes the reversible transfer of high energy ATP gamma-phosphate group to L-arginine (PubMed:17496423, PubMed:27072556, PubMed:22750864, PubMed:23873077). Has nucleoside diphosphate kinase-like activity toward dTDP. Binds and phosphorylates dTDP using ATP as a phosphate donor. Does not phosphorylate dADP, dCDP, dGDP, dTMP or thymidine (PubMed:27072556).[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedArginine kinase (AK) is a key enzyme for energetic balance in invertebrates. Although AK is a well-studied system that provides fast energy to invertebrates using the phosphagen phospho-arginine, the structural details on the AK-arginine binary complex interaction remain unclear. Herein, we determined two crystal structures of the Pacific whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) arginine kinase, one in binary complex with arginine (LvAK-Arg) and a ternary transition state analog complex (TSAC). We found that the arginine guanidinium group makes ionic contacts with Glu225, Cys271 and a network of ordered water molecules. On the zwitterionic side of the amino acid, the backbone amide nitrogens of Gly64 and Val65 coordinate the arginine carboxylate. Glu314, one of proposed acid-base catalytic residues, did not interact with arginine in the binary complex. This residue is located in the flexible loop 310-320 that covers the active site and only stabilizes in the LvAK-TSAC. This is the first binary complex crystal structure of a guanidine kinase in complex with the guanidine substrate and could give insights into the nature of the early steps of phosphagen biosynthesis.
