Abstract

ERK2, a major effector of the BRAF oncogene, is a promiscuous protein kinase that has a strong preference for phosphorylating substrates on Ser-Pro or Thr-Pro motifs. As part of a program to understand the fundamental basis for ERK2 substrate recognition and catalysis, we have studied the mechanism by which ERK2 phosphorylates the transcription factor Ets-1 at Thr-38. A feature of the mechanism in the forward direction is a partially rate-limiting product release step (koff = 59 +/- 6 s(-1)), which is significant because to approach maximum efficiency substrates for ERK2 may evolve to ensure that ADP dissociation is rate-limiting. To improve our understanding of the mechanism of product release, the binding of the products to ERK2 was assessed and the reaction was examined in the reverse direction. These studies demonstrated that phospho-Ets-1 (p-Ets) binds >20-fold more tightly to ERK2 than ADP (Kd = 7.3 and 165 microM, respectively) and revealed that the products exhibit little interaction energetically while bound to ERK2 and that they can dissociate ERK2 in a random order. The overall equilibrium for the reaction in solution (Keq = 250 M(-1)) was found to be similar to that with the substrate bound to the enzyme (Kint = 525 M(-1)). To determine what limits koff, several pre-steady-state experiments were performed. A catalytic trapping approach furnished a rate constant (k-ADPa) of 61 +/- 12 s(-1) for the dissociation of ADP from the abortive ternary complex, ERK2.Ets.ADP. To examine p-Ets dissociation, the binding of a fluorescent derivative (p-Ets-F), which binds ERK2 with an affinity similar to that of p-Ets, was examined by stopped-flow kinetics. Using this approach, p-Ets-F was found to bind through a single-step mechanism, with the following parameters: k-p-Ets-F = 121 +/- 3.8 s(-1), and kp-Ets-F = (9.4 +/- 0.3) X 10(6) M(-1) s(-1). Similar results were found in the presence of a saturating ADP concentration. These data suggest that koff may be limited by the dissociation of both products and are consistent with the notion that Ets-1 has evolved to be an efficient substrate for ERK2, where ADP release is, at least, partially rate-limiting. A molecular mechanics model of the complex formed between ERK2 and residues 28-138 of Ets-1 provides insight into the role of substrate docking interactions.

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.
