Crystal structure of the catalytic subunit of human protein kinase CK2 with 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole


Overview

The Ser/Thr kinase CK2 (previously called casein kinase 2) is composed of two catalytic chains (CK2alpha) attached to a dimer of noncatalytic subunits (CK2beta). CK2 is involved in suppression of apoptosis, cell survival, and tumorigenesis. To investigate these activities and possibly affect them, selective CK2 inhibitors are required. An often-used CK2 inhibitor is 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole (DRB). In a complex structure with human CK2alpha, DRB binds to the canonical ATP cleft, but additionally it occupies an allosteric site that can be alternatively filled by glycerol. Inhibition kinetic studies corroborate the dual binding mode of the inhibitor. Structural comparisons reveal a surprising conformational plasticity of human CK2alpha around both DRB binding sites. After local rearrangement, the allosteric site serves as a CK2beta interface. This opens the potential to construct molecules interfering with the CK2alpha/CK2beta interaction.
