Structure of the Sda antikinase
Structural highlights
FunctionSDA_BACSU Mediates a developmental checkpoint inhibiting initiation of sporulation (by preventing phosphorylation of spo0A) in response to defects in the replication initiation machinery. Inhibits autophosphorylation of the histidine protein kinase KinA, forming a molecular barricade that prevents productive interaction between the ATP-binding site in the catalytic domain and the phosphorylatable His in the phosphotransfer domain of KinA. Probably also inhibits the activity of KinB, but has relatively little effect on KinC. Has at least one target in vivo in addition to KinA as sda does not require KinA to inhibit sporulation.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedHistidine kinases are used extensively in prokaryotes to monitor and respond to changes in cellular and environmental conditions. In Bacillus subtilis, sporulation-specific gene expression is controlled by a histidine kinase phosphorelay that culminates in phosphorylation of the Spo0A transcription factor. Sda provides a developmental checkpoint by inhibiting this phosphorelay in response to DNA damage and replication defects. We show that Sda acts at the first step in the relay by inhibiting autophosphorylation of the histidine kinase KinA. The structure of Sda, which we determined using NMR, comprises a helical hairpin. A cluster of conserved residues on one face of the hairpin mediates an interaction between Sda and the KinA dimerization/phosphotransfer domain. This interaction stabilizes the KinA dimer, and the two proteins form a stable heterotetramer. The data indicate that Sda forms a molecular barricade that inhibits productive interaction between the catalytic and phosphotransfer domains of KinA.
