Abstract
Found in all vertebrates, creatine kinase catalyzes the reversible reaction of creatine and ATP forming phosphocreatine and ADP. Phosphocreatine may be viewed as a reservoir of "high-energy phosphate" which is able to supply ATP, the primary energy source in bioenergetics, on demand. Consequently, creatine kinase plays a significant role in energy homeostasis of cells with intermittently high energy requirements. The enzyme is of clinical importance and its levels are routinely used as an indicator of myocardial and skeletal muscle disorders and for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. First identified in 1928, the enzyme has undergone intensive investigation for over 75 years. There are four major isozymes, two cytosolic and two mitochondrial, which form dimers and octamers, respectively. Depending on the pH, the enzyme operates by a random or an ordered bimolecular mechanism, with the equilibrium lying towards phosphocreatine production. Evidence suggests that conversion of creatine to phosphocreatine occurs via the in-line transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP. A recent X-ray structure of creatine kinase bound to a transition state analog complex confirmed many of the predictions based on kinetic, spectroscopic, and mutagenesis studies. This review summarizes and correlates the more significant mechanistic and structural studies on creatine kinase.

Abstract
The effects of zinc on creatine kinase (CK) are very distinctive compared with other bivalent metal ions. Zinc up to 0.1 mM induced increases in CK activity, accompanied by significant hydrophobic surface exposure and increase in alpha-helix content of CK. Zinc over 0.1 mM denatured and inactived CK. In the presence of 0.1 mM zinc, the CK activity was very close to that of the native CK, but its conformation changed greatly. The kinetic courses of CK inactivation and conformational change in the presence of 1 mM zinc were measured to determine apparent rate constants of inactivation and conformational change. Zinc over 0.05 mM induced CK aggregation at 37 degrees C, and the aggregation was dependent on zinc concentration, CK concentration, and temperature. The inactivation and aggregation can be reversed by EDTA. An explanation for CK aggregation induced by zinc is proposed, as well as a mechanism for CK abnormality in Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Phosphagen kinases catalyze the reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group between guanidino phosphate compounds and ADP, thereby regenerating ATP during bursts of cellular activity. Large quantities of highly pure arginine kinase (EC 2.7.3.3), the phosphagen kinase present in arthropods, have been isolated from E. coli, into which the cDNA for the horseshoe crab enzyme had been cloned. Purification involves size exclusion and anion exchange chromatographies applied in the denatured and refolded states. The recombinant enzyme has been crystallized as a transition state analog complex. Near complete native diffraction data have been collected to 1.86 A resolution. Substitution of a recombinant source for a natural one, improvement in the purification, and data collection at cryo temperatures have all yielded significant improvements in diffraction.

Abstract
Fourteen new creatine analogues, all with a guanidine function and either a polar or an apolar group instead of the creatine carboxylic function, were tested as potential inhibitors for human creatine kinase by kinetic analysis of their effects on the reaction rate. Only compounds bearing an apolar aromatic moiety, which was spaced from the guanidine function by at least two bonds, proved to have a significant inhibitory activity and showed a mixed-type inhibition similar to that of creatine. Among these compounds 2,6-dichlorobenzylguanidine (Ki = 5.6 mM and 39.8 mM for muscle-type and brain-type creatine kinases, respectively) and 3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)propylguanidine (Ki = 15 mM and 4.5 mM) were the more potent inhibitors and showed a significant isoenzyme selectivity between muscle- and brain-type creatine kinases. Our results are in agreement with recent data that suggest the location of a hydrophobic pocket near the guanidine-binding domain of the enzyme. The observed selectivity in isoenzyme inhibition may be useful to study structural differences in catalytic centers.

Abstract
CK-STAR, a monoclonal antibody against human brain creatine kinase (CK), can be shown by chemical cleavage mapping and peptide synthesis to recognize an epitope at the free N-terminus of the enzyme. The epitope could be largely reproduced by a synthetic peptide based on the first 18 amino acids and could be partly formed by the first 11 amino acids. The antibody did not bind to native CK, but it did bind to CK in various partially denatured forms and to an enzymically inactive intermediate in the refolding process. Competitive binding studies have shown that the N-terminal conformations of both the refolding intermediate and the free peptide resemble that of CK partially denatured by attachment to plastic. The results suggest that the final stages of CK refolding and reactivation involve a structural change at the N-terminus or its interaction with some other part of the CK molecule, thus masking the CK-STAR epitope.

Abstract
Crystals of mitochondrial creatine kinase isolated from chicken heart were grown by precipitation with polyethylene glycol 1000. The enzyme has been crystallized in the absence and presence of ATP in two different space groups. Crystals are tetragonal, with space group P42(1)2, a = b = 171 A, c = 150 A in the absence of ATP; and P422, a = b = 101 A, c = 114.4 A in the presence of ATP. We suggest that there is one octamer (346 kDa) per asymmetric unit without ATP and one dimer (86 kDa) per asymmetric unit with ATP. Using synchrotron radiation, the octameric form diffracts to at least 3 A resolution.

Abstract
The stereochemical configurations of the Mn(II) complexes with the resolved epimers of adenosine 5'-O-(1-thiodiphosphate) (ADP alpha S), bound at the active site of creatine kinase, have been determined in order to assess the relative strengths of enzymic stereoselectivity versus Lewis acid/base preferences in metal-ligand binding. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) data have been obtained for Mn(II) in anion-stabilized, dead-end (transition-state analogue) complexes, in ternary enzyme-MnIIADP alpha S complexes, and in the central complexes of the equilibrium mixture. The modes of coordination of Mn(II) at P alpha in the nitrate-stabilized, dead-end complexes with each epimer of ADP alpha S were ascertained by EPR measurements with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S and (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S. The EPR spectrum for the complex with (Rp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S showed inhomogeneous broadening due to unresolved superhyperfine coupling from coordinated 17O at P alpha. By contrast, the EPR spectrum for Mn(II) in complex with (Sp)-[alpha-17O]ADP alpha S is indistinguishable from that obtained for a matched sample with unlabeled (Sp)-ADP alpha S. A reduction in the magnitude of the 55Mn hyperfine coupling constant in the spectrum for the complex containing (Sp)-ADP alpha S is indicative of Mn(II)-thio coordination at P alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
S-thiolation of cardiac creatine kinase and skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase b was initiated by reduced oxygen species in reaction mixtures containing reduced glutathione. Both proteins were extensively modified at similar rates under conditions in which the oxidation of glutathione was inadequate to cause S-thiolation by thiol-disulfide exchange. Creatine kinase was both S-thiolated and non-reducibly oxidized at the same time at low glutathione concentration. The amount of each modification was decreased by adding additional reduced glutathione, and with adequate glutathione oxidation was prevented while S-thiolation was still very active. S-thiolation of glycogen phosphorylase b was not significantly affected by glutathione concentration and non-reducible oxidation of glycogen phosphorylase b was not observed. These experiments suggest that oxyradical or H2O2-initiated processes may be an important mechanism of protein S-thiolation during oxidative stress, and that the cellular concentration of glutathione may be an important factor in S-thiolation of different proteins. Both creatine kinase and glycogen phosphorylase b competed favorably with ferricytochrome c for superoxide anion in the standard xanthine oxidase system for the generation of oxyradicals and H2O2. These proteins were as effective as ascorbate and much more effective than reduced glutathione in this regard. Ascorbate was also an effective inhibitor of oxyradical-initiated S-thiolation of creatine kinase, suggesting a role of superoxide anion in protein S-thiolation. Other experiments showed that both catalase and superoxide dismutase could partially inhibit protein S-thiolation. Thus, reduced oxygen species may react with protein sulfhydryls resulting in S-thiolation by a mechanism that involves the reaction of an activated protein thiol with reduced glutathione.

Abstract
Nuclear Overhauser effects were used to determine interproton distances on MgATP bound to rabbit muscle creatine kinase. The internuclear distances were used in a distance geometry program that objectively determines both the conformation of the bound MgATP and its uniqueness. Two classes of structures were found that satisfied the measured interproton distances. Both classes had the same anti glycosidic torsional angle (chi = 78 +/- 10 degrees) but differed in their ribose ring puckers (O1'-endo or C4'-exo). The uniqueness of the glycosidic torsional angle is consistent with the preference of creatine kinase for adenine nucleotides. One of these conformations of MgATP bound to creatine kinase is indistinguishable from the conformation found for Co(NH3)4ATP bound to the catalytic subunit of protein kinase, which also has a high specificity for adenine nucleotides [chi = 78 +/- 10 degrees, O1'-endo; Rosevear, P.R., Bramson, H.N., O'Brian, C., Kaiser, E.T., & Mildvan, A.S. (1983) Biochemistry 22, 3439]. Distance geometry calculations also suggest that upper limit distances, when low enough (less than or equal to 3.4 A), can be used instead of measured distances to define, within experimental error, the glycosidic torsional angle of bound nucleotides. However, this approach does not permit an evaluation of the ribose ring pucker.
