Figures

Autophosphorylation of IKK2 at hitherto uncharacterized sites.
(A) A schematic of the IKK-complex (pre- and post-stimulation) showing binding of NEMO helping activation of IKK as well as channelizing its recognition of substrate IκBα. The mechanism of specific phosphorylation at Ser32 and Ser36 of IκBα is unclear (B) Domain organization of IKK2 based on the X-ray structures highlighting its functional kinase domain (KD), ubiquitin-like domain (ULD), scaffold dimerization domain (SDD), and NEMO-binding domain. Serine residues in the activation loop - substitution of which to glutamate renders IKK2 constitutively active, and those in the SRR region known to be phosphorylated are marked. Tyrosine residues in the activation loop and the conserved ATP-interacting Lys44 are also marked. (C) In vitro kinase assay showing autophosphorylation of wild-type full-length IKK2 (FL IKK2WT) upon incubation with γ32P radiolabeled ATP for different time periods. (D) Similar in vitro kinase assays performed to assess the effect of NEMO on autophosphorylation of FL IKK2WT (left panel), and the effect of NEMO and IκBα on autophosphorylation and substrate phosphorylation (right panel) activities of FL IKK2WT. (E) In vitro kinase assay (schematic depicted in Figure 1—figure supplement 1B) showing the effect of different concentrations of the Inhibitor VII on FL IKK2WT autophosphorylation and IκBα substrate phosphorylation (this assay was performed twice). (F) Kinase assay with radiolabeled ATP displaying auto- and substrate-phosphorylation of full-length and deletion constructs of the constitutively active form of IKK2 harboring phosphomimetic Ser177Glu and Ser181Glu substitutions.

(D) LC MS/MS analyses of FL IKK2 K44M protein after trypsin digestion on Orbitrap Exploris 240 equipment. See Supplementary file 1 for additional details. A 3D scatter plot with different parameters for the detected proteins obtained from the mass spectrometric analysis of the sample is shown, where the X-axis represents the number of unique peptides for each protein, the Y-axis represents spectral counts, and the Z-axis represents the iBAQ (intensity Based Absolute Quantification) values. KyPlot was used to create this 3D scatter plot. In the left panel, all the proteins detected are shown, where the orange circle represents the protein kinases, whereas in the right panel only the protein kinases are shown for better clarity. See Supplementary file 2 for additional details. For this analysis, the Spodoptera frugiperda reference proteome (ID: UP000829999) available in the Uniprot database was used, which contains both reviewed (Swiss-Prot) and unreviewed (TrEMBL) protein sequences.

Dual-specific autophosphorylation is critical for the function of IKK2.
(A) A surface representation of IKK2-KD structure (adapted from PDB ID 4E3C; KD is shown in light green and SDD in teal) with positions of canonically important residues within the AL (purple ribbon) marked. Tyrosine residues in the activation segment are marked in green, Tyr169 among which is identified to be autophosphorylated. (B) Amino-acid sequence alignment of activation loop segment of different kinases in the IKK-family. The tyrosine at position DFG +1 (DLG +1 in case of IKK1 and IKK2) is observed only in IKK and in the stress response-related plant kinase SnRK2, but not in other structural homologues of IKK or dual specificity kinases, for example DYRK and GSK3β (both contain Ser at that position). Tyr at position 188 (204 in PKA) is universally conserved. (C) Substrate and autophosphorylation activities of FL IKK2 WT and IKK2 K44M mutant were compared using in vitro radioactive kinase assay in presence and absence of FL IκBα WT as the substrate.

(E) In vitro kinase assay using radiolabeled ATP performed with IKK2 WT and IKK2 Y169F in the presence of WT and AA-mutant of GST-tagged IκBα (1-54) substrate. (F) In vitro kinase assay using radiolabeled ATP performed with IKK2 Y169F mutant in the presence of various GST-tagged IκBα(1-54) substrates indicating abolition of substrate phosphorylation in S36A and S36E mutants of IκBα.
