Abstract excerpt
Many protein kinases catalyze their own activation by autophosphorylation. The mechanism of this is generally considered to be intermolecular and similar to that used in substrate phosphorylation. We derived the kinetic signatures of the four simplest autophosphorylation reactions and developed a test to determine the autoactivation mechanism of individual kinases. Whereas autophosphorylation of Nek7 and Plk4...
