Multidomain protein kinases, central controllers of signal transduction, use regulatory domains to modulate catalytic activity in a complex cellular environment. Additionally, these domains regulate noncatalytic functions, including cellular localization and protein protein interactions. Src-family kinases (SFKs) are promising therapeutic targets for a number of diseases and are an excellent model for studying the regulation of multidomain kinases. Here, we demonstrate that the regulatory domains of the SFKs Src and Hck are divergently affected by ligands that stabilize two distinct inactive ATP-binding site conformations. Conformation-selective, ATP-competitive inhibitors differentially modulate the ability of the SH3 and SH2 domains of Src and Hck to engage in intermolecular interactions and the ability of the kinase inhibitor complex to undergo post-translational modification by effector enzymes. This surprising divergence in regulatory domain behavior by two classes of inhibitors that each stabilize inactive ATP-binding site conformations is found to occur through perturbation or stabilization of the alpha C helix. These studies provide insight into how conformation-selective, ATP-competitive inhibitors can be designed to modulate domain interactions and post-translational modifications distal to the ATP-binding site of kinases.
