beta2 carbohydrate binding module (CBM) of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in complex with glucosyl-beta-cyclodextrin
Structural highlights
FunctionAAKB2_RAT Non-catalytic subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy sensor protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism. In response to reduction of intracellular ATP levels, AMPK activates energy-producing pathways and inhibits energy-consuming processes: inhibits protein, carbohydrate and lipid biosynthesis, as well as cell growth and proliferation. AMPK acts via direct phosphorylation of metabolic enzymes, and by longer-term effects via phosphorylation of transcription regulators. Also acts as a regulator of cellular polarity by remodeling the actin cytoskeleton; probably by indirectly activating myosin. Beta non-catalytic subunit acts as a scaffold on which the AMPK complex assembles, via its C-terminus that bridges alpha (PRKAA1 or PRKAA2) and gamma subunits (PRKAG1, PRKAG2 or PRKAG3) (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedAMPK-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a alphabetagamma heterotrimer that is important in regulating energy metabolism in all eukaryotes. The beta-subunit exists in two isoforms (beta1 and beta2) and contains a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) that interacts with glycogen. The two CBM isoforms (beta1- and beta2-CBM) are near identical in sequence and structure, yet show differences in carbohydrate binding affinity. beta2-CBM binds linear carbohydrates with four-fold greater affinity than beta1-CBM and binds single alpha1,6-branched carbohydrates up to 30-fold tighter. To understand these affinity differences, especially for branched carbohydrates, we determined the NMR solution structure of beta2-CBM in complex with the single alpha1,6 branched carbohydrate glucosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (gBCD) which supported the dynamic nature of the binding site, but resonance broadening prevented defining where the alpha1,6 branch bound. We therefore solved the X-ray crystal structures of beta1- and beta2-CBM, in complex with gBCD, to 1.7 A and 2.0 A respectively. The additional threonine (Thr-101) of beta2-CBM expands the size of the surrounding loop, creating a pocket that accommodates the alpha1,6 branch. Hydrogen bonds are formed between the alpha1,6 branch and the backbone of Trp-99 and Lys-102 side chain of beta2-CBM. In contrast the alpha1,6 branch could not be observed in the beta1-CBM structure, suggesting that it does not form a specific interaction. The orientation of gBCD bound to beta1- and beta2-CBM is supported by thermodynamic and kinetic data obtained through isothermal titration calorimetry and NMR. These results suggest that AMPK containing the muscle specific beta2-isoform may therefore have greater affinity to partially degraded glycogen.
