Posttranslational Modification

Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
phosphoprotein phosphorylation sites: Ser61, Ser66, Ser78, Ser366, Ser445, Ser474, Ser491, Thr348, Thr353. The autophosphorylation sites Thr348, Thr353, Ser366 and Ser445 are are highly conserved among vertebrate elongation factor 2 kinases. None of the sites lies in the catalytic domain. Ser366 is phosphorylated not only autocatalytically but also in trans by other kinases. Thr348 appears to be constitutively autophosphorylated in vitro. Thr348, and presumably its autophosphorylation, are critical for the ability of the enzyme to phosphorylate substrates in trans Homo sapiens
