The structure of the recombinant mouse catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase is reviewed with particular emphasis on the overall features and specific amino acids that are shared by all members of the eukaryotic protein kinase family. The crystal structure of a ternary complex containing both MgATP and a twenty-residue inhibitor peptide defines the precise role of the conserved residues that are clustered at the active site. In addition to catalysing the post-translational modification of other proteins, the catalytic subunit is itself subject to covalent modifications. It is a phosphoprotein and is also myristylated at its amino terminus. The enzyme when crystallized in the presence of detergent shows a detergent molecule bound to an acyl pocket that is presumably occupied by the myristyl moiety in the mammalian enzyme. When expressed in E. coli, the catalytic subunit is autophosphorylated at four sites. Two stable phosphates at Ser338 and Thr197 interact with multiple protein side chains thus explaining why they are inaccessible to phosphatases. Although all substrates and inhibitors of the catalytic subunit share a general minimum consensus sequence, the high affinity binding of protein inhibitors such as the regulatory subunits and the heat stable protein kinase inhibitors require additional determinants that lie beyond the consensus site. These two physiological inhibitors of the catalytic subunit appear to use different sites to achieve high-affinity binding.
