Discovery of a novel allosteric inhibitor-binding site in ERK5: comparison with the canonical kinase hinge ATP-binding site

Crystal structures of the MAP kinase ERK5 in complex with XMD8-92 and four novel inhibitors reveal an allosteric binding site between the kinase P-loop and αC helix. Binding at this site displaces the P-loop into the ATP-binding site and was shown to be ATP-competitive.
