Ligand structure controlled allostery in cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit

Abstract: Protein kinase A (cAMP dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit, EC 2.7.11.11) binds simultaneously ATP and a phosphorylatable peptide. These structurally dissimilar allosteric ligands influence the binding effectiveness of each other. The same situation is observed with substrate congeners, which reversibly inhibit the enzyme. In this review these allosteric effects are quantified using the interaction factor, which compares binding effectiveness of ligands with the free enzyme and the pre-loaded enzyme complex containing another ligand. This analysis revealed that the allosteric effect depends upon structure of the interacting ligands, and the principle “better binding: stronger allostery” observed can be formalized in terms of linear free-energy relationships, which point to similar mechanism of the allosteric interaction between the enzyme-bound substrates and/or inhibitor molecules. On the other hand, the type of effect is governed by ligand binding effectiveness and can be inverted from positive allostery to negative allostery if we move from effectively binding ligands to badly binding compounds. Thus the outcome of the allostery in this monomeric enzyme is the same as defined by classical theories for multimeric enzymes: making the enzyme response more efficient if appropriate ligands bind.
