R. Maesaki et al., Biochemical and crystallographic characterization of a Rho effector domainof the protein serine threonine kinase N in a complex with RhoA, J STRUCT B, 126(2), 1999, pp. 166-170
The effector domain of human protein serine/threonine kinase N (PKN), an ef
fector protein for the small GTP-binding protein Rho, was expressed and pur
ified for protein characterization and crystallization in a complex form wi
th human RhoA. In solution, RhoA binds to the PKN effector domain with 1:2
stoichiometry in a GTP-dependent manner. The obtained complex crystals diff
ract to 2.2 Angstrom resolution. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
