Descriptions

PknA is a serine/threonine-protein kinase involved in regulating cell division and cell wall synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is essential for the pathogen's survival. Autoinhibition in PknA is maintained by a Src-like conformation where the N-terminal lobe and C-terminal lobe are held in an inactive state by the positioning of the activation loop, preventing substrate binding and catalysis. This autoinhibition is relieved by phosphorylation of the activation loop, which triggers a conformational change to an active state.

Functions

Description
EC Number 2.7.11.1 Protein-serine/threonine kinases
Subcellular Localization
  • Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein
  • The majority of the cells displays PknA expression at the membrane perimeter along the length of the cell, whereas a minor population shows PknA to localize at either or both poles (uni- and bipolar; 16 and 14%, respectively) and occasionally to both the poles and the midcell (12%)

3 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
extracellular region The space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite.
plasma membrane The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins.

4 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
protein kinase activity Catalysis of the phosphorylation of an amino acid residue in a protein, usually according to the reaction
protein serine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions
protein serine/threonine kinase activity Catalysis of the reactions

9 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
negative regulation of catalytic activity Any process that stops or reduces the activity of an enzyme.
negative regulation of fatty acid biosynthetic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of fatty acids.
negative regulation of lipid biosynthetic process Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipids.
peptidyl-threonine autophosphorylation The phosphorylation by a protein of one or more of its own threonine amino acid residues, or a threonine residue on an identical protein.
positive regulation of catalytic activity Any process that activates or increases the activity of an enzyme.
positive regulation of DNA binding Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of DNA binding. DNA binding is any process in which a gene product interacts selectively with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
protein autophosphorylation The phosphorylation by a protein of one or more of its own amino acid residues (cis-autophosphorylation), or residues on an identical protein (trans-autophosphorylation).
protein phosphorylation The process of introducing a phosphate group on to a protein.
regulation of cell shape Any process that modulates the surface configuration of a cell.
