HUMAN CK2 KINASE ALPHA SUBUNIT IN COMPLEX WITH THE ATP-COMPETITIVE INHIBITOR 4,7-DIBROMOBENZOTRIAZOLE
Structural highlights
Function[CSK21_HUMAN] Catalytic subunit of a constitutively active serine/threonine-protein kinase complex that phosphorylates a large number of substrates containing acidic residues C-terminal to the phosphorylated serine or threonine. Regulates numerous cellular processes, such as cell cycle progression, apoptosis and transcription, as well as viral infection. May act as a regulatory node which integrates and coordinates numerous signals leading to an appropriate cellular response. During mitosis, functions as a component of the p53/TP53-dependent spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) that maintains cyclin-B-CDK1 activity and G2 arrest in response to spindle damage. Also required for p53/TP53-mediated apoptosis, phosphorylating 'Ser-392' of p53/TP53 following UV irradiation. Can also negatively regulate apoptosis. Phosphorylates the caspases CASP9 and CASP2 and the apoptotic regulator NOL3. Phosphorylation protects CASP9 from cleavage and activation by CASP8, and inhibits the dimerization of CASP2 and activation of CASP8. Regulates transcription by direct phosphorylation of RNA polymerases I, II, III and IV. Also phosphorylates and regulates numerous transcription factors including NF-kappa-B, STAT1, CREB1, IRF1, IRF2, ATF1, SRF, MAX, JUN, FOS, MYC and MYB. Phosphorylates Hsp90 and its co-chaperones FKBP4 and CDC37, which is essential for chaperone function. Regulates Wnt signaling by phosphorylating CTNNB1 and the transcription factor LEF1. Acts as an ectokinase that phosphorylates several extracellular proteins. During viral infection, phosphorylates various proteins involved in the viral life cycles of EBV, HSV, HBV, HCV, HIV, CMV and HPV.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedBinding of a family of brominated benzotriazoles to the catalytic subunit of human protein kinase CK2 (hCK2alpha) was used as a model system to assess the contribution of halogen bonding to protein-ligand interaction. CK2 is a constitutively active pleiotropic serine/threonine protein kinase that belongs to the CMGC group of eukaryotic protein kinases (EPKs). Due to the addiction of some cancer cells, CK2 is an attractive and well-characterized drug target. Halogenated benzotriazoles act as ATP-competitive inhibitors with unexpectedly good selectivity for CK2 over other EPKs. We have characterized the interaction of bromobenzotriazoles with hCK2alpha by X-ray crystallography, low-volume differential scanning fluorimetry, and isothermal titration calorimetry. Properties of free ligands in solution were additionally characterized by volumetric and RT-HPLC measurements. Thermodynamic data indicate that the affinity increases with bromo substitution, with greater contributions from 5- and 6-substituents than 4- and 7-substituents. Except for 4,7-disubstituted compounds, the bromobenzotriazoles adopt a canonical pose with the triazole close to lysine 68, which precludes halogen bonding. More highly substituted benzotriazoles adopt many additional noncanonical poses, presumably driven by a large hydrophobic contribution to binding. Some noncanonical ligand orientations allow the formation of halogen bonds with the hinge region. Consistent with a predominantly hydrophobic interaction, the isobaric heat capacity decreases upon ligand binding, the more so the higher the substitution. Halogen Atoms in the Protein-Ligand System.
