Abstract
Phosphorylase kinase (PhK) and truncated gamma subunit, denoted gamma 1-300, can phosphorylate seryl and tyrosyl residues dependent on the metal ion [Yuan, C.-J., Huang, C. F., & Graves, D. J. (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 17683-17686]. Recombinant gamma 1-300 was used to explore its dual specificity and the location of the metal ion binding sites by using site-directed mutagenesis. Two approaches were taken to generate 26 mutants. First, on the basis of the crystal structure of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAPK), the invariant Asn155 and highly conserved Asp168-Phe169-Gly170 residues were mutated. Changes included production of N155H, D168E, D168N, F169R, G170V, G170I, G170L (less than 1% of enzymatic activities were found in these mutants), F169W, and G170A mutants. Second, charge to alanine and charge reversal scanning mutations were used to probe the metal ion binding sites. Two mutants, E111K and E154R, showed very different metal ion response compared to wild-type gamma and were further characterized. The mutants F169W, G170A, E111K, and E154R had 15%, 5%, 8%, and 25% specific activity relative to wild-type gamma, respectively. The folding pattern of wild-type and mutated enzyme forms of gamma was determined by photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy. Conformational disruptions were found in G170V, G170I, and G170L mutants, but the conformation of the rest of the mutants was similar to that of wild-type gamma, suggesting that the loss of enzymatic activities of these mutants was not because of incorrect refolding.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Mutations at the Darkener of apricot (Doa) locus of Drosophila cause roughened eyes and increase transcript accumulation from the retrotransposon copia up to fourfold. Cloning of the gene and sequencing of cDNAs reveals that it encodes a putative serine/threonine protein kinase. Sequence data base searches identify it is a member of a novel highly conserved protein kinase family, with homologs in humans, mice, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, not related to each other previously. Family members are characterized by a peptide motif reading EHLAMMERILG at kinase subdomain X, which is virtually 100% identical in all homologs. We therefore refer to this new family as the LAMMER protein kinases. As predicted from its primary sequence, Doa protein possess intrinsic protein kinase activity when expressed in bacteria, as assayed via autophosphorylation. The gene is expressed throughout development, and both stage and tissue-specific RNAs are found. Its function is essential, because maternally deposited or zygotically transcribed mRNA is required for development to larval stages, and defects in segmentation and development of the nervous system are observed in embryos derived from heteroallelic mothers. Doa function is also critical to Drosophila eye development, because the organization and development of pigment cells, bristles, and photoreceptors are affected in various mutant classes. In the most extreme cases that survive to adulthood, retinal photoreceptors degenerate prior to eclosion. These results demonstrate that the kinase encoded by Doa is required at multiple stages of development, for both differentiation and maintenance of specific cell types.

Abstract
The cdc2 protein kinase is an important regulatory protein for both meiosis and mitosis. Previously, we demonstrated that simultaneous mutation of Thr14-->Ala14 and Tyr15-->Phe15 in the Xenopus cdc2 protein results in an activated cdc2 mutant that induces maturation in resting oocytes. In addition, we confirmed the importance of the positive regulatory phosphorylation site, Thr161, by demonstrating that cdc2 mutants containing additional mutations of Thr161-->Ala161 or Glu161 are inactive in the induction of oocyte maturation. Here, we have analyzed the importance of an additional putative cdc2 phosphorylation site,Ser277. Single mutation of Ser277-->Asp277 or Ala277 had no effect on activity, and these mutants were unable to induce Xenopus oocyte maturation. However, the double mutant Ala161/Asp277 was capable of inducing oocyte maturation, suggesting that mutation of Ser277-->Asp277 could compensate for the mutation of Thr161-->Ala161. The Asp277 mutation could also compensate for the Ala161 mutation in the background of the activating mutations Ala14/Phe15. Although mutants containing the compensatory Ala161 and Asp277 mutations were capable of inducing oocyte maturation, these mutant cdc2 proteins lacked detectable in vitro kinase activity. Tryptic phosphopeptide mapping of mutant cdc2 protein and comparison with in vitro synthesized peptides indicated that Ser277 is not a major site of phosphorylation in Xenopus oocytes; however, we cannot rule out the possibility of phosphorylation at this site in a biologically active subpopulation of cdc2 molecules. The data presented here, together with prior reports of Ser277 phosphorylation in somatic cells, suggest an important role for Ser277 in the regulation of cdc2 activity. The regulatory role of Ser277 most likely involves its indirect effects on the nearby residue Arg275, which participates in a structurally important ion pair with Glu173, which lies in the same loop as Thr161 in the cdc2 protein.

Abstract
Evolution favours the use of glycine-rich loops for nucleotide binding in proteins. In the large family of protein kinases, the catalytic domain of which has one of the highest degrees of conservation among all known proteins, the structure of the nucleotide-binding site differs from classical folds. We are now beginning to understand the multiple functional roles of the glycine-rich sequence in protein kinases and some of the structural constraints leading to its conservation.

Abstract
The accumulation of assembled holoenzymes composed of regulatory D-type cyclins and their catalytic partner, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (cdk4), is rate limiting for progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle in mammalian fibroblasts. Both the synthesis and assembly of D-type cyclins and cdk4 depend upon serum stimulation, but even when both subunits are ectopically overproduced, they do not assemble into complexes in serum-deprived cells. When coexpressed from baculoviral vectors in intact Sf9 insect cells, cdk4 assembles with D-type cyclins to form active protein kinases. In contrast, recombinant D-type cyclin and cdk4 subunits produced in insect cells or in bacteria do not assemble as efficiently into functional holoenzymes when combined in vitro but can be activated in the presence of lysates obtained from proliferating mammalian cells. Assembly of cyclin D-cdk4 complexes in coinfected Sf9 cells facilitates phosphorylation of cdk4 on threonine 172 by a cdk-activating kinase (CAK). Assembly can proceed in the absence of this modification, but cdk4 mutants which cannot be phosphorylated by CAK remain catalytically inactive. Therefore, formation of the cyclin D-cdk4 complex and phosphorylation of the bound catalytic subunit are independently regulated, and in addition to the requirement for CAK activity, serum stimulation is required to promote assembly of the complexes in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Angiogenin, a potent inducer of neovascularization, is the only angiogenic molecule known to exhibit ribonucleolytic activity. Its overall structure, as determined at 2.4 A, is similar to that of pancreatic ribonuclease A, but it differs markedly in several distinct areas, particularly the ribonucleolytic active center and the putative receptor binding site, both of which are critically involved in biological function. Most strikingly, the site that is spatially analogous to that for pyrimidine binding in ribonuclease A differs significantly in conformation and is "obstructed" by glutamine-117. Movement of this and adjacent residues may be required for substrate binding to angiogenin and, hence, constitute a key part of its mechanism of action.

Abstract
We have found that the cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of a wide variety of peptide-based aromatic alcohols, thereby greatly amplifying the range of compounds recognized as substrates by this enzyme. This newly discovered enzyme-catalyzed reaction is sensitive to both steric and electronic effects. Substituents on the aromatic ring that are positioned para to the hydroxyl moiety lower the observed Km, presumably via a favorable interaction with an adjacent hydrophobic pocket. In contrast, electron-withdrawing substituents have a slight adverse effect on the kinetics of phosphoryl transfer, an observation which is consistent with the notion that the rate of substrate turnover is dependent upon the nucleophilicity of the phosphorylatable hydroxyl moiety. As a corollary, electron-donating groups on the aromatic nucleus promote the rate of phosphoryl transfer to such an extent that the observed Vmax values approach those exhibited by aliphatic alcohols. This suggests that analogously appended electron-donating groups on tyrosine moieties could dramatically improve the modest Vmax values that are typical for tyrosine kinase-catalyzed reactions.

Abstract
Recent advances in the knowledge of molecular events of cell growth and differentiation have provided considerable gains to the understanding of neoplasia. Along with this understanding, molecular biology has yielded many new techniques of great potential for diagnostic use. This review illustrates, in general terms, current models of gene regulation, intracellular signal transduction, and the regulation of cell division that are relevant to pediatric pathologists. These concepts are used to examine the molecular pathology of three pediatric tumors: retinoblastoma, Wilms' tumor, and neuroblastoma. In addition, molecular biology techniques potentially useful to pediatric pathologists are discussed, with examples of some possible applications of these techniques. Hopefully, this review portrays the relevance of molecular biology to pediatric pathologists and serves as a useful guide to the interpretation of the molecular pathology literature.

Abstract
The structure of the MAP kinase ERK2, a ubiquitous protein kinase target for regulation by Ras and Raf, has been solved in its unphosphorylated low-activity conformation to a resolution of 2.3 A. The two domains of unphosphorylated ERK2 are farther apart than in the active conformation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase and the peptide-binding site is blocked by tyrosine 185, one of the two residues that are phosphorylated in the active enzyme. Activation of ERK2 is thus likely to involve both global and local conformational changes.

Abstract
Mitotic HeLa cells showed an increased phosphorylation activity towards myelin basic protein compared to cells in G1 or S phases. Further investigation using renaturation gels revealed that, in mitotic cell lysates, a protein with an apparent molecular mass of around 40 kDa phosphorylates myelin basic protein. This kinase is active early in mitosis, but is then downregulated concomitantly with p34cdc2 kinase as mitosis proceeds, its activity decreasing to basal levels by early G1. The molecular mass of the kinase suggested that it might be one of the human homologues of rat erk1 or erk2. However, antibodies raised against C-terminal sequences of erk1 and erk2 failed to immunoprecipitate renaturable kinase activity from mitotic lysates. In addition, in immunoblots erk1 and erk2 failed to show the well established changes in electrophoretic migration that are consequences of their activation. These data indicate that these two mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are not stimulated during HeLa cell mitosis and indicate that the 40-kDa kinase is either a new member of the MAP kinase family or it is a novel mitotic kinase that has not yet been described.

Abstract
The key cell-cycle regulator Cdc2 belongs to a family of cyclin-dependent kinases in higher eukaryotes. Dominant-negative mutations were used to address the requirement for kinases of this family in progression through the human cell cycle. A dominant-negative Cdc2 mutant arrested cells at the G2 to M phase transition, whereas mutants of the cyclin-dependent kinases Cdk2 and Cdk3 caused a G1 block. The mutant phenotypes were specifically rescued by the corresponding wild-type kinases. These data reveal that Cdk3, in addition to Cdc2 and Cdk2, executes a distinct and essential function in the mammalian cell cycle.

Abstract
The major events of the cell division cycle are triggered by periodic changes in the activity of cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs). In mammals, the members of the CDK family include CDK2 and CDC2, which are thought to be involved in the control of DNA replication and mitosis, respectively. The protein kinase activity of these enzymes is controlled by a complex array of mechanisms. Activation of the CDK catalytic subunit requires association with a positive regulatory subunit (cyclin) and phosphorylation (at Thr 160 in CDK2). This activated complex can be inhibited by additional phosphorylation at Thr 14 and Tyr 15. Here we report the identification of a new mechanism for the regulation of CDK2 activity. We find that CDK2/cyclin complexes in mouse fibroblasts associate tightly with a 20K protein (CAP20). Complexes containing CAP20 were isolated from cell lysates and found to have negligible kinase activity, indicating that CAP20 association in vivo may inhibit CDK2 activity. We purified CAP20 from 3T3 cells and found that low concentrations of the protein completely inhibit the kinase activity of CDK2 in vitro. Thus CAP20 represents a new negative regulatory subunit that inhibits the activity of CDK2/cyclin complexes in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Residues 40-300 of the mammalian catalytic (C) subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase define a conserved bilobal catalytic core shared by all eukaryotic protein kinases. Contiguous to the core is an extended amphipathic alpha-helix (A helix). Trp30, a prominent feature of this helix, fills a deep hydrophobic pocket between the two lobes on the surface opposite to the active site. The C subunit in Dictyostelium discoideum shows sequence conservation of residues 40-350 with the mouse enzyme but contains an N-terminal extension of 332 residues. A sequence corresponding to the A helix contiguous to the core is absent. However, we have now identified a remote A-helix motif (residues 77-98). When the core of the Dictyostelium C subunit was modeled, based on the mouse C subunit, complementarity between this putative A helix and the surface of the core was found to be conserved. Analysis of other protein kinases reveals that the A-helix motif is not restricted to cAMP-dependent protein kinase. In the Src-related family of protein kinases, for example, an A helix is very likely contiguous to the core, thus serving as a linker between the conserved catalytic core and the Src homology 2 domain. We predict that an A-helix motif complementary to the core will be a conserved feature of most eukaryotic protein kinases.

Abstract
The cell cycle regulatory protein CksHs2 binds to the catalytic subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdk's) and is essential for their biological function. The crystal structure of the protein was determined at 2.1 A resolution. The CksHs2 structure is an unexpected hexamer formed by the symmetric assembly of three interlocked dimers into an unusual 12-stranded beta barrel fold that may represent a prototype for this class of protein structures. Sequence-conserved regions form the unusual beta strand exchange between the subunits of the dimer, and the metal and anion binding sites associated with the hexamer assembly. The two other sequence-conserved regions line a 12 A diameter tunnel through the beta barrel and form the six exposed, charged helix pairs. Six kinase subunits can be modeled to bind the assembled hexamer without collision, and therefore this CksHs2 hexamer may participate in cell cycle control by acting as the hub for Cdk multimerization in vivo.
