Dynamics of protein kinases and pseudokinases by HDX-MS.

ABSTRACT: Dynamics of the protein kinase fold are deeply intertwined with its structure. The past three decades of kinase biophysical studies revealed key dynamic features of the kinase domain and, more recently, how these features may endow catalytically impaired kinases-or pseudokinases-with signaling properties. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange coupled with mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is proving to be a valuable approach for studies of kinase and pseudokinase domain dynamics. Here, we briefly discuss the methods that have provided insights into protein kinase dynamics, describe how HDX-MS is being used to answer questions in the kinase/pseudokinase field, and provide a detailed protocol for collecting an HDX-MS dataset to study the impacts of small molecule binding to a pseudokinase domain.
