Citation | Journal: J Biochem / Year: 2026Title: Structure and biochemical analyses suggest that PrkA/YeaG protein of Thermus thermophilus functions as a putative molecular chaperone. Authors: Masayuki Torii / Ryo Kanno / Akira Mizoguchi / Bruno M Humbel / Kazutoshi Tani / Ryoji Masui / ![]() Abstract: Protein phosphorylation, a key post-translational modification, is mediated by various protein kinases. The bacterial PrkA/YeaG is recognized as an atypical protein kinase, but its activity remains ...Protein phosphorylation, a key post-translational modification, is mediated by various protein kinases. The bacterial PrkA/YeaG is recognized as an atypical protein kinase, but its activity remains elusive. This study investigated the structural and functional characteristics of a PrkA/YeaG homologue, TpkB, from Thermus thermophilus HB8. Using cryo-electron microscopy, the structures of TpkB in apo and AMPPNP-bound forms were determined, revealing a hexameric ring architecture characteristic of AAA + superfamily proteins. The TpkB protomer is comprised of an N-terminal domain, an ATPase domain, and a LID domain. The ATPase domain contains conserved sequence motifs associated with ATPase activity, whereas the other domains present a novel fold. TpkB exhibits structural similarity to MoxR family proteins, which possess chaperone-like functions in conjunction with von Willebrand factor A (vWA) domain proteins. Structural and gene neighborhood analyses suggested a functional link between PrkA/YeaG proteins and vWA domain proteins. Biochemical analyses demonstrated that TpkB exhibited ATPase activity and chaperone-like activity, but lacked detectable protein kinase activity. These findings establish TpkB as a novel member of the AAA+ superfamily with potential chaperone functions, providing new insights into the PrkA/YeaG family. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
