Human Mps1 kinase domain with ordered activation loop
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Function[TTK_HUMAN] Phosphorylates proteins on serine, threonine, and tyrosine. Probably associated with cell proliferation. Essential for chromosome alignment by enhancing AURKB activity (via direct CDCA8 phosphorylation) at the centromere, and for the mitotic checkpoint.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedMonopolar spindle 1 (Mps1) is a dual-specificity protein kinase, orchestrating faithful chromosome segregation during mitosis. All reported structures of the Mps1 kinase adopt the hallmarks of an inactive conformation, which includes a mostly disordered activation loop. Here we present a 2.4A resolution crystal structure of an 'extended' version of the Mps1 kinase domain, which shows an ordered activation loop. However, the other structural characteristics of an active kinase are not present. Our structure shows that the Mps1 activation loop can fit to the ATP binding pocket and interferes with ATP, but less so with inhibitors binding, partly explain the potency of various Mps1 inhibitors.
