STRUCTURE OF HUMAN ADENOSINE KINASE AT 1.50 ANGSTROMS
Overview
Adenosine kinase (AK) is a key enzyme in the regulation of extracellular, adenosine and intracellular adenylate levels. Inhibitors of adenosine, kinase elevate adenosine to levels that activate nearby adenosine, receptors and produce a wide variety of therapeutically beneficial, activities. Accordingly, AK is a promising target for new analgesic, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective agents. We determined the structure, of human adenosine kinase by X-ray crystallography using MAD phasing, techniques and refined the structure to 1.5 A resolution. The enzyme, structure consisted of one large alpha/beta domain with nine beta-strands, eight alpha-helices, and one small alpha/beta-domain with five, beta-strands and two alpha-helices. The active site is formed along the, edge of the beta-sheet ... [(full description)]
