Adenylate kinase is an essential catalyst for cellular growth and multiplication. ADK belongs to a family of enzymes essential to life, and is highly abundant inside the cell. It is involved in the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group from Mg2+ATP to Mg2+AMP with high energy turnover: Mg2+ATP + AMP↔Mg2+ADP + ADP. | |||

Adenylate kinases (ADK) from Gram-negative bacteria are generally devoid of metal ions in their LID domain. However, <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Metal_bound/4'>three metal ions</scene>, zinc, cobalt and iron, have been found in ADK from Gram-negative bacteria. Crystal structures of substrate-free ADK from Desulfovibrio gigas with three different metal ions: <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Zinc_bound/3'>Zn2+, Zn-ADK</scene> ([[2xb4]]); <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Cobalt_bound/7'>Co2+, Co-ADK</scene> ([[3l0s]]) and <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Fe_bound/8'>Fe2+, Fe-ADK</scene> ([[3l0p]]) bound in its LID domain have been determined by X-ray crystallography. <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Super/10'>All three crystal structures are very similar </scene>to each other with the same LID domain topology, the only change being the presence of the different metal atoms. | |||
<br /> | <br /> | ||
The structures of Zn- , Co- and Fe-ADK contain the <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Lid_domain/5'>characteristic LID domain (residues 125-163)</scene> and <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Core_domain/1'>Core (residues 1-124 and 164-223) domains</scene>, which also include the AMP binding region. The LID domain harbors the <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Metal_motif/1'>Cys129-X5-His135-X15-Cys151-X2-Cys154- motif</scene>, which is responsible for metal binding in a tetrahedral fashion. In the absence of any substrate, the LID domain of all holo forms of ADK was present in a fully open conformational state. The Core domain is <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Core_connection/3'>connected to the LID by residues 116-123 and 165-173</scene>. This Core domain mainly consists of a <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Core_helix/3'>five stranded beta sheet surrounded by 5 helices</scene> that keep the integrity of the tertiary structure of the enzyme. A <scene name='Journal:JBIC:1/Walker/4'>Walker motif</scene> with conserved sequence; <span style="color:#FF0000">G</span>-<span style="color:#FF8040">X</span>-<span style="color:#FFFF00">X</span>-<span style="color:#00FF00">G</span>-<span style="color:#0000FF">X</span>-<span style="color:#FF00FF">G</span>-<span style="color:#00FFFF">K</span> is present in the N-terminal region. The structures presented herein further reinforce the notion that the metal ion is purely structural, contributing to the stability of the LID domain. | |||
