== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Malaria causes every year over half-a-million deaths. The emergence of parasites resistant to available treatments makes the identification of new targets and their inhibitors an urgent task for the development of novel anti-malaria drugs. Protein kinase CK2 is an evolutionary-conserved eukaryotic serine/threonine protein kinase that in Plasmodium falciparum (PfCK2) has been characterized as a promising target for chemotherapeutic intervention against malaria. Here we report a crystallographic structure of the catalytic domain of PfCK2alpha (D179S inactive single mutant) in complex with ATP at a resolution of 3.0 A. Compared to the human enzyme, the structure reveals a subtly altered ATP binding pocket comprising five substitutions in the vicinity of the adenine base, that together with potential allosteric sites, could be exploited to design novel inhibitors specifically targeting the Plasmodium enzyme. We provide evidence for the dual autophosphorylation of residues Thr(63) and Tyr(30) of PfCK2. We also show that CX4945, a human CK2 inhibitor in clinical trials against solid tumor cancers, is effective against PfCK2 with an IC50 of 13.2 nM.
