  • Title: Assignment of conserved amino acid residues to the ATP site in the protein kinase domain of the receptor for epidermal growth factor.
    Author: Vogel S, Freist W, Hoppe J.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1986 Feb 03; 154(3):529-32. PubMed ID: 3004981.
    Abstract:
    The ATP substrate site in the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was mapped by using a series of 26 ATP derivatives with modifications at the base, ribose or triphosphate moiety. Ki values for these derivatives were determined by competition with [gamma-32P]ATP. The enzyme seems to interact specifically with the beta-phosphate in an ion-pair bond with the N-6 amino group at the adenine in a hydrogen bond. With ribosyl-2-aminopurine triphosphate and GTP, the enzyme most likely recognizes the 2-amino group in a hydrogen bond. This high specificity for ATP and GTP is unique for the ATP site in the EGF receptor among all investigated protein kinases. The available data on the interaction between ATP derivatives and protein kinases were used to assign conserved amino acid residues found in diverse protein kinases to the ATP site in this type of enzyme.
