domains of the Abl kinase
regulatory core can adopt an assembled (inactive) or a disassembled
(active) conformation. We show that this assembly state strictly correlates
with the conformation of the kinase activation loop induced by a total
of 14 ATP site ligands, comprising all FDA-approved Bcr-Abl inhibiting
drugs. The disassembly of the core by certain (type II) ligands can
be explained by an induced push on the kinase N-lobe via A- and P-loop
toward the SH3 domain. A similar sized P-loop motion is expected during
nucleotide binding and release, which would be impeded in the assembled
state, in agreement with its strongly reduced kinase activity.
