Sequence determinants of a specific inactive protein kinase conformation.

Abstract excerpt

Only a small percentage of protein kinases have been shown to adopt a distinct inactive ATP-binding site conformation, called the Asp-Phe-Gly-out (DFG-out) conformation. Given the high degree of homology within this enzyme family, we sought to understand the basis of this disparity on a sequence level. We identified two residue positions that sensitize mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) to inhibitors that...
