CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE MUTANT ATP-BINDING DOMAIN OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS DOSS
Structural highlights
Function[DEVS_MYCTU] Member of the two-component regulatory system DevR/DevS (DosR/DosS) involved in onset of the dormancy response. May act as a redox sensor (rather than a direct hypoxia sensor); the normal (aerobic growth) state is the Fe(3+) form, while the reduced (anaerobic growth) Fe(2+) form is probably active for phosphate transfer. It is probably reduced by flavin nucleotides such as FMN and FAD. May be the primary sensor for CO. Donates a phosphate group to DevR (DosR).[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe sensor histidine kinases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, DosS and DosT, are responsible for sensing hypoxic conditions and consist of sensor and kinase cores responsible for accepting signals and phosphorylation activity, respectively. The kinase core contains a dimerization and histidine phosphate-accepting (DHp) domain and an ATP binding domain (ABD). The 13 histidine kinase genes of M. tuberculosis can be grouped based on the presence or absence of the ATP-lid motif and F box (elements known to play roles in ATP binding) in their ABDs; DosS and DosT have ABDs lacking both these elements, and the crystal structures of their ABDs indicated they were unsuitable for ATP binding, as a short loop covers the putative ATP binding site. Although the ABD alone cannot bind ATP, the kinase core is functional in autophosphorylation. Appropriate spatial arrangement of the ABD and DHp domain within the kinase core is required for both autophosphorylation and ATP binding. An ionic interaction between R440 in the DHp domain and E537 in the short loop of the ABD is available and may open the ATP binding site, by repositioning the short loop away from the site. Mutations at R440 and E537 reduce autophosphorylation activity. Unlike other histidine kinases containing an ATP-lid, which protects bound ATP, DosS is unable to accept ATP until the ABD is properly positioned relative to the histidine; this may prevent unexpected ATP reactions. ATP binding can, therefore, function as a control mechanism for histidine kinase activity.
