The strucure of phospho-CDK2/cyclin A in complex with the inhibitor 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBS)
Structural highlights
Function[CDK2_HUMAN] Serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in the control of the cell cycle; essential for meiosis, but dispensable for mitosis. Phosphorylates CTNNB1, USP37, p53/TP53, NPM1, CDK7, RB1, BRCA2, MYC, NPAT, EZH2. Interacts with cyclins A, B1, B3, D, or E. Triggers duplication of centrosomes and DNA. Acts at the G1-S transition to promote the E2F transcriptional program and the initiation of DNA synthesis, and modulates G2 progression; controls the timing of entry into mitosis/meiosis by controlling the subsequent activation of cyclin B/CDK1 by phosphorylation, and coordinates the activation of cyclin B/CDK1 at the centrosome and in the nucleus. Crucial role in orchestrating a fine balance between cellular proliferation, cell death, and DNA repair in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Activity of CDK2 is maximal during S phase and G2; activated by interaction with cyclin E during the early stages of DNA synthesis to permit G1-S transition, and subsequently activated by cyclin A2 (cyclin A1 in germ cells) during the late stages of DNA replication to drive the transition from S phase to mitosis, the G2 phase. EZH2 phosphorylation promotes H3K27me3 maintenance and epigenetic gene silencing. Phosphorylates CABLES1 (By similarity). Cyclin E/CDK2 prevents oxidative stress-mediated Ras-induced senescence by phosphorylating MYC. Involved in G1-S phase DNA damage checkpoint that prevents cells with damaged DNA from initiating mitosis; regulates homologous recombination-dependent repair by phosphorylating BRCA2, this phosphorylation is low in S phase when recombination is active, but increases as cells progress towards mitosis. In response to DNA damage, double-strand break repair by homologous recombination a reduction of CDK2-mediated BRCA2 phosphorylation. Phosphorylation of RB1 disturbs its interaction with E2F1. NPM1 phosphorylation by cyclin E/CDK2 promotes its dissociates from unduplicated centrosomes, thus initiating centrosome duplication. Cyclin E/CDK2-mediated phosphorylation of NPAT at G1-S transition and until prophase stimulates the NPAT-mediated activation of histone gene transcription during S phase. Required for vitamin D-mediated growth inhibition by being itself inactivated. Involved in the nitric oxide- (NO) mediated signaling in a nitrosylation/activation-dependent manner. USP37 is activated by phosphorylation and thus triggers G1-S transition. CTNNB1 phosphorylation regulates insulin internalization.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [CCNA2_HUMAN] Essential for the control of the cell cycle at the G1/S (start) and the G2/M (mitosis) transitions.

Publication Abstract from PubMedProtein kinases are targets for therapeutic agents designed to intervene in signaling processes in the diseased state. Most kinase inhibitors are directed towards the conserved ATP binding site. Because the essential features of this site are conserved in all eukaryotic protein kinases, it is generally assumed that the same compound will bind in a similar manner to different protein kinases. The inhibitor 4,5,6,7-tetrabromobenzotriazole (TBB) is a selective inhibitor for the protein kinase CK2 (IC50 1.6 micro m) (Sarno et al. (2001) FEBS Letts.496, 44-48). Three other kinases [cyclin-dependent protein kinase 2 (CDK2), phosphorylase kinase and glycogen synthase kinase 3beta] exhibit approximately 10-fold weaker affinity for TBB than CK2. We report the crystal structure of TBB in complex with phospho-CDK2-cyclin A at 2.2 A resolution and compare the interactions with those observed for TBB bound to CK2. TBB binds at the ATP binding site of both kinases. In CDK2, each of the four bromine atoms makes polar contacts either to main chain oxygens in the hinge region of the kinase or to water molecules, in addition to several van der Waals contacts. The mode of binding of TBB to CDK2 is different from that to CK2. TBB in CDK2 is displaced more towards the hinge region between the N- and C-terminal lobes and rotated relative to TBB in CK2. The ATP binding pocket is wider in CDK2 than in CK2 resulting in fewer van der Waals contacts but TBB in CK2 does not contact the hinge. The structures show that, despite the conservation of the ATP binding pocket, the inhibitor is able to exploit different recognition features so that the same compound can bind in different ways to the two different kinases.
