In this study we report its application to monitoring the stepwise process governing cAMP-dependent activation of Protein Kinase A (PKA). In the absence of cAMP, PKA exists in an inactive complex of catalytic (C) and regulatory (R) subunits. cAMP binding induces large conformational changes within the R-subunit leading to dissociation of the active C-subunit. Although crystal structures of end-point, inactive and active states are available, the molecular basis for cooperativity in cAMP-dependent activation of PKA is not clear. In this study we report application of amide hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry on tracking the stepwise cAMP-induced conformational changes using a single point mutant (R209K) at the cyclic nucleotide binding domain (CNB)-A site. Our amide exchange results reveal that binding of one molecule of cAMP increases amide exchange in important regions within the second CNB-B domain. Increased exchange was also seen at the interface between CNB-B and the C-subunit suggesting weakening of the R-C interface without dissociation. Importantly, binding of the first molecule of cAMP greatly increases the conformational mobility/dynamics of two key regions coupling the two CNBs, the αC/C′:A and αA:B helix. We believe that the enhanced dynamics of these regions forms the basis for the positive cooperativity in the cAMP-dependent activation of PKA. In summary, our results reveal the close allosteric coupling between CNB-A and CNB-B with the C-subunit providing important molecular insights into the function of CNB-B domain. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. | Source Title: | International Journal of Mass Spectrometry | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/100339 | ISSN: | 13873806 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.ijms.2010.09.012 |
