Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) is a key mediator of the nitric oxide/cGMP signaling pathway and plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and neuronal functions. The N-terminal similar to 50 amino acids of the kinase are required for homodimerization and association with isoform-specific PKG-anchoring proteins (GKAPs), which target the kinase to specific substrates. To understand the molecular details of PKG dimerization and gain insight into its association with GKAPs, we solved a crystal structure of the PKG I beta dimerization/docking domain. Our structure provides molecular details of this unique leucine/isoleucine zipper, revealing specific hydrophobic and ionic interactions that mediate dimerization and demonstrating the topology of the GKAP interaction surface.
