The catalytic domains of most eukaryotic protein kinases are highly conserved in
their primary structures. Their phosphorylation within the well-known activation
T-loop, a variable region between protein kinase catalytic subdomains VII and
VIII, is a common mechanism for stimulation of their phosphotransferase
activities. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1), a member of the
extensively studied mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family, serves as a
paradigm for regulation of protein kinases in signaling modules. In addition to
the well-documented T202 and Y204 stimulatory phosphorylation sites in the
activation T-loop of ERK1 and its closest relative, ERK2, three additional
flanking phosphosites have been confirmed (T198, T207, and Y210 from ERK1) by
high-throughput mass spectrometry. In vitro kinase assays revealed the functional
importance of T207 and Y210, but not T198, in negatively regulating ERK1
catalytic activity. The Y210 site could be important for proper conformational
arrangement of the active site, and a Y210F mutant could not be recognized by
MEK1 for phosphorylation of T202 and Y204 in vitro. Autophosphorylation of T207
reduces the catalytic activity and stability of activated ERK1. We propose that
after the activation of ERK1 by MEK1, subsequent slower phosphorylation of the
flanking sites results in inhibition of the kinase. Because the T207 and Y210
phosphosites of ERK1 are highly conserved within the eukaryotic protein kinase
family, hyperphosphorylation within the kinase activation T-loop may serve as a
general mechanism for protein kinase down-regulation after initial activation by
their upstream kinases.
