Abstract excerpt
The protein kinase ERK2 is recurrently mutated in human squamous cell carcinomas and other tumors. ERK2 mutations cluster in an essential docking recruitment site that interacts with short linear motifs found within intrinsically disordered regions of ERK substrates and regulators. Cancer-associated mutations do not disrupt ERK2 docking interactions altogether but selectively inhibit some interactions while...
