Publication Abstract from PubMed The taurocyamine kinase from the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni (SmTK) belongs to the phosphagen kinase (PK) family and catalyzes the reversible Mg2+-dependent transfer of a phosphoryl group between ATP and taurocyamine. SmTK is derived from gene duplication, as are all known trematode TKs. Our crystallographic study of SmTK reveals the first atomic structure of both a TK and a PK with a bilobal structure. The two unliganded lobes present a canonical open conformation and interact via their respective C- and N-terminal domains at a helix-mediated interface. This spatial arrangement differs from that observed in true dimeric PKs, in which both N-terminal domains make contact. Our structures of SmTK complexed with taurocyamine or L-arginine compounds explain the mechanism by which an arginine residue of the phosphagen-specificity loop is crucial for substrate specificity. An SmTK crystal was soaked with the dead-end transition-state analog (TSA) components taurocyamine-NO32--MgADP. One SmTK monomer was observed with two bound TSAs and an asymmetric conformation, with the first lobe semi-closed and the second closed. However, isothermal titration calorimetry and enzyme kinetics experiments showed that the two lobes function independently. A small-angle X-ray scattering model of SmTK-TSA in solution with two closed active sites was generated.
