Abstract excerpt
We identified a conserved pattern of residues L-X((3-4))-R-X((2))-L-X((4))-G, in which -X((n))- is n residues of any amino acid, in two enzymes acting on the polyunsaturated fatty acids, diacylglycerol kinase epsilon (DGKɛ) and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate-5-kinase Iα (PIP5K Iα). DGKɛ is the only one of the 10 mammalian isoforms of DGK that exhibits arachidonoyl specificity and is the only isoform with the...
