Sequence and Structure-Based Analysis of Specificity Determinants in Eukaryotic Protein Kinases

Abstract excerpt

Protein kinases lie at the heart of cell-signaling processes and are often mutated in disease. Kinase target recognition at the active site is in part determined by a few amino acids around the phosphoacceptor residue. However, relatively little is known about how most preferences are encoded in the kinase sequence or how these preferences evolved. Here, we used alignment-based approaches to predict 30...
