Function

KIPN_BPT4 Acts as a 5'-hydroxyl kinase, a 3'-phosphatase and a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiesterase. Catalyzes the transfer of the terminal phosphate of ATP to the 5'-hydroxyl termini of ribo- and deoxyribonucleotides. In the presence of ADP the enzyme also catalyzes an exchange reaction. In the exchange reaction, an excess ADP causes the enzyme to transfer the 5' terminal phosphate from phosphorylated DNA to ADP. These activities modify the ends of nicked tRNA generated by a bacterial response to infection and facilitate repair by T4 RNA ligase.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

T4 phage polynucleotide kinase (PNK) displays 5'-hydroxyl kinase, 3'-phosphatase and 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiesterase activities. The enzyme phosphorylates the 5' hydroxyl termini of a wide variety of nucleic acid substrates, a behavior studied here through the determination of a series of crystal structures with single-stranded (ss)DNA oligonucleotide substrates of various lengths and sequences. In these structures, the 5' ribose hydroxyl is buried in the kinase active site in proper alignment for phosphoryl transfer. Depending on the ssDNA length, the first two or three nucleotide bases are well ordered. Numerous contacts are made both to the phosphoribosyl backbone and to the ordered bases. The position, side chain contacts and internucleotide stacking interactions of the ordered bases are strikingly different for a 5'-GT DNA end than for a 5'-TG end. The base preferences displayed at those positions by PNK are attributable to differences in the enzyme binding interactions and in the DNA conformation for each unique substrate molecule.
