Comparative Protein Structural Network Analysis Reveals C-Terminal Tail Phosphorylation Structural Communication Fingerprint in PTEN-Associated Mutations in Autism and Cancer.

Abstract excerpt

PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) is a tightly regulated dual-specificity phosphatase and key regulator of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. PTEN phosphorylation at its carboxy-terminal tail (CTT) serine/threonine cluster negatively regulates its tumor suppressor function by inducing a stable, closed, and inactive conformation. Germline PTEN mutations predispose individuals to PTEN...
