Emerging roles of the αC-β4 loop in protein kinase structure, function, evolution, and disease.

Abstract excerpt

The faithful propagation of cellular signals in most organisms relies on the coordinated functions of a large family of protein kinases that share a conserved catalytic domain. The catalytic domain is a dynamic scaffold that undergoes large conformational changes upon activation. Most of these conformational changes, such as movement of the regulatory αC-helix from an "out" to "in" conformation, hinge on a...
