Abstract excerpt
A highly conserved lysine in subdomain II is required for high catalytic activity among the protein kinases. This lysine interacts directly with ATP and mutation of this residue leads to a classical "kinase-dead" mutant. This study describes the biophysical and functional properties of a kinase-dead mutant of cAMP-dependent kinase where Lys72 was replaced with His. Although the mutant protein is less stable than...
