Abstract

We have expressed a truncated form of the alpha1 kinase domain of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in Escherichia coli as a glutathione-S-transferase fusion (GST-KD). A T172D mutant version did not require prior phosphorylation and was utilized for most subsequent studies. We have also created a recombinant substrate (GST-ACC) by expressing 34 residues around the major phosphorylation site (Ser79) on rat acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1/alpha (ACC1) as a GST fusion. This was an excellent substrate that was phosphorylated with similar kinetic parameters to ACC1 by both native AMPK and the bacterially expressed kinase domain. We also constructed a structural model for the binding of the ACC1 sequence to the kinase domain, based on crystal structures for related protein kinases. The model was tested by making a total of 25 mutants of GST-ACC and seven mutants of GST-KD, and measuring kinetic parameters with different combinations. The results reveal that AMPK and ACC1 interact over a much wider region than previously realized (>20 residues). The features of the interaction can be summarised as follows: (i) an amphipathic helix from P-16 to P-5 on the substrate binds in a hydrophobic groove on the large lobe of the kinase; (ii) basic re...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
