A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs) target PKA to specific microdomains by using an amphipathic helix that docks to N-terminal dimerization and docking (D/D) domains of PKA regulatory (R) subunits. To understand specificity, we solved the crystal structure of the helical motif from D-AKAP2, a dual-specific AKAP, bound to the RIIalpha D/D domain. The 1.6 Angstrom structure reveals how this dynamic, hydrophobic docking site is assembled. A stable, hydrophobic docking groove is formed by the helical interface of two RIIalpha protomers. The flexible N terminus of one protomer is then recruited to the site, anchored to the peptide through two essential isoleucines. The other N terminus is disordered. This asymmetry provides greater possibilities for AKAP docking. Although there is strong discrimination against RIalpha in the N terminus of the AKAP helix, the hydrophobic groove discriminates against RIIalpha. RIalpha, with a cavity in the groove, can accept a bulky tryptophan, whereas RIIalpha requires valine.
一种激酶锚定蛋白(AKAPs)通过利用一个两亲性螺旋将蛋白激酶A(PKA)靶向特定的微结构域,该螺旋与PKA调节(R)亚基的N端二聚化和对接(D/D)结构域对接。为了理解特异性,我们解析了来自双特异性AKAP(D-AKAP2)的螺旋基序与RIIα D/D结构域结合的晶体结构。1.6埃的结构揭示了这个动态的疏水对接位点是如何组装的。一个稳定的疏水对接凹槽由两个RIIα原体的螺旋界面形成。然后,一个原体的柔性N端被招募到该位点,通过两个必需的异亮氨酸锚定在肽上。另一个N端是无序的。这种不对称性为AKAP对接提供了更多可能性。尽管在AKAP螺旋的N端对RIα有强烈的排斥,但疏水凹槽对RIIα有排斥作用。RIα在凹槽中有一个腔,可以容纳一个大的色氨酸,而RIIα则需要缬氨酸。
