Genetically Encoded Förster Resonance Energy Transfer Sensors for the Conformation of the Src Family Kinase Lck
1 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The current model for regulation of the Src family kinase member Lck postulates a strict correlation between structural condensation of the kinase backbone and catalytic activity. The key regulatory tyrosine 505, when phosphorylated, interacts with the Src homology 2 domain on the same molecule, effectively suppressing tyrosine kinase activity. Dephosphorylation of Tyr(505) upon TCR engagement is supposed to lead...
