Mechanisms of specificity in protein phosphorylation

TL;DR: A typical protein kinase must recognize between one and a few hundred bona fide phosphorylation sites in a background of ∼700,000 potentially phosphorylatable residues.

ERK1/2 MAP kinases: structure, function, and regulation.

TL;DR: The activity of the Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK cascade is increased in about one-third of all human cancers, and inhibition of components of this cascade by targeted inhibitors represents an important anti-tumor strategy.

The Protein Kinase Complement of the Human Genome

TL;DR: The protein kinase complement of the human genome is catalogued using public and proprietary genomic, complementary DNA, and expressed sequence tag sequences to provide a starting point for comprehensive analysis of protein phosphorylation in normal and disease states and a detailed view of the current state of human genome analysis through a focus on one large gene family.

Increased insulin sensitivity and obesity resistance in mice lacking the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B gene.

TL;DR: In this article, the mouse homolog of the gene encoding PTP-1B yielded healthy mice that, in the fed state, had blood glucose concentrations that were slightly lower and concentrations of circulating insulin that were one-half those of their PTP−1B+/+ littermates.

Germline mutations of the PTEN gene in Cowden disease, an inherited breast and thyroid cancer syndrome

TL;DR: Mutational analysis of PTEN in CD kindreds has identified germline mutations that are predicted to disrupt the protein tyrosine/dual-specificity phosphatase domain of this gene, and implies that PTEN may play a role in organizing the relationship of different cell types within an organ during development.
