GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE 3 BETA.
|
OverviewOverview
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3 beta) plays a key role in insulin, and Wnt signaling, phosphorylating downstream targets by default, and, becoming inhibited following the extracellular signaling event. The, crystal structure of human GSK3 beta shows a catalytically active, conformation in the absence of activation-segment phosphorylation, with, the sulphonate of a buffer molecule bridging the activation-segment and, N-terminal domain in the same way as the phosphate group of the, activation-segment phospho-Ser/Thr in other kinases. The location of this, oxyanion binding site in the substrate binding cleft indicates direct, coupling of P+4 phosphate-primed substrate binding and catalytic, activation, explains the ability of GSK3 beta to processively, hyperphosphorylate substrates with Ser/Thr pentad-repeats, and suggests a, mechanism for autoinhibition in which the phosphorylated N terminus binds, as a competitive pseudosubstrate with phospho-Ser 9 occupying the P+4, site.
