crystal structure of CISK-PX domain
|
OverviewOverview
The cytokine-independent survival kinase (CISK) in the serum and, glucocorticoid-regulated kinase family plays an important role in, mediating cell growth and survival. N-terminal to its catalytic kinase, domain, CISK contains a phox homology (PX) domain, a, phosphoinositide-binding motif that directs the membrane localization of, CISK and regulates CISK activity. We have determined the crystal, structures of the mouse CISK-PX domain to unravel the structural basis of, membrane targeting of CISK. In addition to the specific interactions, conferred by the phosphoinositide-binding pocket, the structure suggests, that a hydrophobic loop region and a hydrophilic beta-turn contribute to, the interactions with the membrane. Furthermore, biochemical studies, reveal that CISK-PX dimerizes in the presence of the linker between the PX, domain and kinase domain, suggesting a multivalent mechanism in membrane, localization of CISK.
