The means by which the cell regulates protein kinase CK2 remain obscure. However, natural polyamines, cellular compounds required for cell proliferation, have been reported to strongly stimulate CK2-mediated phosphorylation of a number of substrates. Using spermine analogs, we have shown that polyamines directly interact with the CK2 beta subunit, and the chemical features of the highly acidic binding site (Asp51-Tyr80) have been determined. In the present study, we show that the isolated beta subunit region extending from residue Asp51 to Pro110 exhibits a specific and efficient polyamine binding activity similar to that of the entire beta subunit. Moreover, the replacement of Glu60, Glu61, and Glu63 of the beta subunit by 3 alanine residues leads to a loss of the spermine-induced stimulation of CK2 activity which correlates with a decrease in spermine binding affinity. Thermal stability studies indicate that the binding of spermine induces a 4 degrees C decrease of the Tm value for the holoenzyme. This was confirmed by circular dichroism analyses, which show that the 6 degrees C negative shift of the CK2 Tm value provoked by spermine binding, reflects a conformational change in the kinase. Together, these observations strongly suggest that this newly defined polyamine-binding domain is involved in the intrasteric regulation of CK2 activity.
