Deoxynucleoside kinases are generally grouped into two families based on structural homology:

Contents

TK1 family. This family has got its name from the human enzyme thymidine kinase 1. The substrate specificity is restricted to thymidine (and to lesser extent deoxyuridine) among the natural substrates. TK1 family members are widespread and found in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes.

Non-TK1-like family. This family includes deoxycytidine kinase (cytosolic) as well as the two mitochondrial enzymes deoxyguanosine kinase and thymidine kinase 2 in humans. The base specificity is generally broader than for the TK-1 family. Non-TK1 family members are widespread and found in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. Also the herpesvirus thymidine kinase belongs to this family although it is not obvious from the sequence homology (it is still structurally related).

Catalyzed reaction

In enzymology, a deoxynucleoside kinase (EC 2.7.1.145) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ATP + 2'-deoxynucleoside ADP + 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 2'-deoxynucleoside, whereas its two products are ADP and 2'-deoxynucleoside 5'-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:deoxynucleoside 5'-phosphotransferase. Other names in common use include multispecific deoxynucleoside kinase, ms-dNK, multisubstrate deoxyribonucleoside kinase, multifunctional deoxynucleoside kinase, D. melanogaster deoxynucleoside kinase, and Dm-dNK.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1OE0, 1OT3, 1ZM7, 1ZMX, and 2JCS.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Kanamycin kinase</span>

Aminoglycoside-3'-phosphotransferase, also known as aminoglycoside kinase, is an enzyme that primarily catalyzes the addition of phosphate from ATP to the 3'-hydroxyl group of a 4,6-disubstituted aminoglycoside, such as kanamycin. However, APH(3') has also been found to phosphorylate at the 5'-hydroxyl group in 4,5-disubstituted aminoglycosides, which lack a 3'-hydroxyl group, and to diphosphorylate hydroxyl groups in aminoglycosides that have both 3'- and 5'-hydroxyl groups. Primarily positively charged at biological conditions, aminoglycosides bind to the negatively charged backbone of nucleic acids to disrupt protein synthesis, effectively inhibiting bacterial cell growth. APH(3') mediated phosphorylation of aminoglycosides effectively disrupts their mechanism of action, introducing a phosphate group that reduces their binding affinity due to steric hindrances and unfavorable electrostatic interactions. APH(3') is primarily found in certain species of gram-positive bacteria.
