2.0-ANGSTROM REFINED CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF THE CATALYTIC SUBUNIT OF CAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN-KINASE COMPLEXED WITH A PEPTIDE INHIBITOR AND DETERGENT

A mutant (Ser139Ala) of the mouse recombinant catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase was co-crystallized with a peptide inhi bitor, PKI(5-24), and MEGA-8 (octanoyl-N-methylglucamide) detergent. T his structure was refined using all observed data (30 248 reflections) between 30 and 1.95 angstrom resolution to an R factor of 0.186. R.m. s. deviations of bond lengths and bond angles are 0.013 angstrom and 2 .3-degrees, respectively. The final model has 3075 atoms (207 solvent) with a mean B factor of 31.9 angstrom2. The placement of invariant pr otein-kinase residues and most C:PKI(5-24) interactions were confirmed , but register errors affecting residues 55-64 and 309-339 were correc ted during refinement by shifting the affected sequences toward the C terminus along the previously determined backbone path. New details of C:PKI(5-24) interactions and the Ser338 autophosphorylation site are described, and the acyl group binding site near the catalytic subunit NH2 terminus is identified.
