Abstract

Protein-ligand docking and molecular dynamics studies have shown that the key event initiated by 3′:5′-AMP binding to the A- and B-domains of protein kinase A Iα regulatory subunit is formation of a hydrogen bond between 3′:5′-AMP and A202(A326) (the residue in parentheses being from the B-domain). The A202(A326) amide group movement associated with the bond formation leads to reorganization of the phosphate binding cassette (PBC) (the short 310-helix becomes the long α-helix). This process results in L203(L327) displacement and finally causes hinge (B-helix) rotation. The L203(L327) displacement and packing into the hydrophobic pocket formed by the PBC and β2β3-loop also depends on the β2β3-loop conformation. The correct conformation is maintained by R, I, E, but not K at position 209(333) of the A- and B-domains. So, the R209K and R333K mutants have problems with reaching B-conformation. The apo-form of the 3′:5′-AMP-binding domain also undergoes transition from H- to B-conformation. In this case, the movement of A202(A326) amide group seems to be a result of reorganization of the PBC into a more stable α-helix.
