General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | alpha-kinases transfer the gamma-phosphate of ATP to protein substrates through an aspartylphosphate intermediate | Dictyostelium discoideum |
additional information | ADP is bound at the active site and invariant Asp766 at the active site is phosphorylated in the crysstallized MHCK A. The aspartylphosphate group is exposed to the solvent within an active-site pocket that might function as a docking site for substrates. Access to the aspartylphosphate is regulated by a conformational switch in a loop that binds to a Mg2+ ion, providing a mechanism that allows alpha-kinases to sense and respond to local changes in Mg2+ concentration. Access to the active-site pocket was regulated by a C-terminal glycine-rich loop that bound to Mg2+ and switched between two distinct conformations. The invariant Asp766 residue is located at the center rear of the active site where it interacted with phosphate, the alpha-phosphate of AMP, and Mg2+ in the active-site pocket | Dictyostelium discoideum |
physiological function | myosin II heavy chain kinase A, MHCK A, disrupts the assembly and cellular activity of bipolar filaments of myosin II by phosphorylating sites within its alpha-helical, coiled-coil tail | Dictyostelium discoideum |
