CK2 is an intrinsically active protein kinase that is crucial for cellular viability. However, conventional kinase regulatory mechanisms do not apply to CK2, and its mode of regulation remains elusive. Interestingly, CK2 is known to undergo reversible ionic-strength-dependent oligomerization. Furthermore, a regulatory mechanism based on autoinhibitory oligomerization has been postulated on the basis of the observation of circular trimeric oligomers and linear CK2 assemblies in various crystal structures. Here, we employ native mass spectrometry to monitor the assembly of oligomeric CK2 species in an ionic-strength-dependent manner. A subsequent combination of ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry techniques was used to analyze the conformation of CK2 oligomers. Our findings support ionic-strength-dependent CK2 oligomerization, demonstrate the transient nature of the α/β interaction, and show that CK2 oligomerization proceeds via both the circular and linear assembly.
