Abstract

Pyk2 is a multidomain non-receptor tyrosine kinase that undergoes a multistage activation mechanism. Activation is instigated by conformational rearrangements relieving autoinhibitory FERM domain interactions. The kinase autophosphorylates a central linker residue to recruit Src kinase. Pyk2 and Src mutually phosphorylate activation loops to confer full activation. While the mechanisms of autoinhibition are established, the conformational dynamics associated with autophosphorylation and Src recruitment remain unclear. We employ hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and kinase activity profiling to map the conformational dynamics associated with substrate binding and Src-mediated activation loop phosphorylation. Nucleotide engagement stabilizes the autoinhibitory interface, while phosphorylation deprotects both FERM and kinase regulatory surfaces. Phosphorylation organizes active site motifs linking catalytic loop with activation segment. Dynamics of the activation segment anchor propagate to EF/G helices to prevent reversion of the autoinhibitory FERM interaction. We employ targeted mutagenesis to dissect how phosphorylation-induced conformational rearrangements elevate kinase activity above the basal autophosphorylation rate.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
