Domain Structure and Mutational Analysis of T4 Polynucleotide Kinase*

Li Kai Wang and Stewart ShumanDagger

From the Molecular Biology Program, Sloan-Kettering Institute, New York, New York 10021

T4 polynucleotide kinase (Pnk) is the founding member of a family of 5'-kinase/3'-phosphatase enzymes that heal broken termini in RNA or DNA by converting 3'-PO4/5'-OH ends into 3'-OH/5'-PO4 ends, which are then suitable for sealing by RNA or DNA ligases. Here we employed site-directed mutagenesis and biochemical methods to dissect the domain structure of the homotetrameric T4 Pnk protein and to localize essential constituents of the apparently separate active sites for the 5'-kinase and 3'-phosphatase activities. We characterized deletion mutants Pnk(42-301) and Pnk(1-181), which correspond to domains defined by proteolysis with chymotrypsin. Pnk(1-181) is a monomer with no 3'-phosphatase and low residual 5'-kinase activity. Pnk(42-301) is a dimer with no 5'-kinase and low residual 3'-phosphatase activity. Four classes of missense mutational effects were observed. (i) Mutations K15A, S16A, and D35A inactivated the 5'-kinase but did not affect the 3'-phosphatase or the tetrameric quaternary structure of T4 Pnk. 5'-kinase activity was ablated by the conservative mutations K15R, K15Q, and D35N; however, kinase activity was restored by the S16T change. (ii) Mutation D167A inactivated the 3'-phosphatase without affecting the 5'-kinase or tetramerization. (iii) Mutation D85A caused a severe decrement in 5'-kinase activity and only a modest effect on the 3'-phosphatase; the nearby N87A mutation resulted in a significantly reduced 3'-phosphatase activity and slightly reduced 5'-kinase activity. D85A and N87A both affected the quaternary structure, resulting in a mixed population of tetramer and dimer species. (iv) Alanine mutations at 11 other conserved positions had no significant effect on either 5'-kinase or 3'-phosphatase activity.
