ABSTRACT

Due to the numerous kinases in the cell, many with overlapping substrates, it is difficult to find novel substrates for a specific kinase. To identify novel substrates of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), the PKA catalytic subunit was engineered to accept bulky N6-substituted ATP analogs, using a chemical genetics approach initially pioneered with v-Src (1). Methionine 120 was mutated to glycine in the ATP-binding pocket of the catalytic subunit. To express the stable mutant C-subunit in Escherichia coli required co-expression with PDK1. This mutant protein was active and fully phosphorylated on Thr197 and Ser338. Based on its kinetic properties, the engineered C-subunit preferred N6(benzyl)-ATP and N6(phenethyl)-ATP over other ATP analogs, but still retained a 30 μm Km for ATP. This mutant recombinant C-subunit was used to identify three novel PKA substrates. One protein, a novel mitochondrial ChChd protein, ChChd3, was identified, suggesting that PKA may regulate mitochondria proteins.
