Phosphorylation of translation initiation factor eIF2α at Ser51 depends on site- and context-specific information.

FEBS letters - 1 Sept 2018

Uppala Jagadeesh Kumar, Ghosh Chandrima, Sathe Leena, Dey Madhusudan

Abstract excerpt

Protein kinases phosphorylate specific amino acid residues of substrate proteins and regulate many cellular processes. Specificity for phosphorylation depends on the accessibility of these residues, and more importantly, kinases have preferences for certain residues flanking the phospho-acceptor site. Translation initiation factor 2α [eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α)] kinase phosphorylates...
