摘要: The CHK2 protein kinase is an important transducer of DNA damage checkpoint signals, and its mutation contributes to hereditary sporadic cancer. activation triggered by the phosphorylation Thr68 damage-activated ATM kinase. This leads transient dimerization, in part through intermolecular phosphoThr68-FHA domain interactions. Dimerization promotes activation-loop autophosphorylation, but mechanism this process has not been clear. dimeric crystal structure CHK2, described here, conjunction with biochemical mutational data reveals that productive dimerization additionally involves FHA-kinase FHA-FHA Ile157, mutated Li-Fraumeni cancer-predisposition syndrome, plays a central role interface, explaining lack autophosphorylation mutant. In dimer, active sites face each other close proximity, indicating may also serve optimally position for efficient loop transphosphorylation.
