Atomic structure of the MAP kinase ERK2 at 2.3 A resolution
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.

MAPKs have a bi-lobed architecture, with a five-stranded beta-sheet in the N-terminal lobe and six alpha-helices in the C-terminal lobe.
“MAPKs have a bi-lobed architecture, with a five-stranded b-sheet in the N-terminal lobe and six a-helices in the C-terminal lobe.”
From Molecular basis of MAP kinase regulation (2013) · cites this paper as [18]
MAPKs are activated by dual phosphorylation of a TPY motif in the activation loop, which connects the two kinase lobes.
“The MAPKs are activated via dual phosphorylation of a TPY motif found in the activation loop (A-loop), which connects the two lobes common to the kinase domain (Zhang et al., 1994) (Figure 1A).”

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.
