TLDR
A review of the non-catalytic functions of protein kinases can be found in this paper, where the authors consider pseudokinases, proteins that are devoid of enzymatic activity altogether and demonstrate that, beyond conventional notions of kinase function, catalytic activity can be dispensable for biological function.

Structure vs. Function of TRIB1—Myeloid Neoplasms and Beyond

TL;DR: The TRIB1 family of proteins as discussed by the authors plays important roles in differentiation, development, and oncogenesis, and is known to be accessible to small-molecule inhibitors in spite of its inability to bind ATP.

Dimerization of the Pragmin Pseudo-Kinase Regulates Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the Pragmin 906-1,368 amino acid C terminus is presented, which encompasses its kinase domain, and a dimerization mechanism by which a pseudo-kinase can induce protein tyrosine phosphorylation is revealed.

STK40 Is a Pseudokinase that Binds the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase COP1.

TL;DR: It is shown that STK40 interacts with Constitutive Photomorphogenic Protein 1 (COP1), relying primarily on a C-terminal sequence analogous to the motif found in Tribbles proteins, suggesting functional parallels between STK 40 and Tribbles-family proteins as COP1 adaptors.

Structure of protein O-mannose kinase reveals a unique active site architecture

TL;DR: The crystal structure of Danio rerio POMK in complex with Mg2+ ions, ADP, aluminum fluoride, and the GalNAc-β3-GlcNAC-β4-Man trisaccharide substrate is presented, thereby providing a snapshot of the catalytic transition state of this unusual kinase.

The intrinsic structure of poly(A) RNA determines the specificity of Pan2 and Caf1 deadenylases

TL;DR: Using a fully reconstituted biochemical system, it is shown that disruption of this structure—for example, by incorporation of guanosine into poly(A)—inhibits deadenylation by both Pan2 and Caf1, establishing a paradigm for specific recognition of the conformation ofpoly(A) RNA by proteins that regulate gene expression.
