Tiancen,

 

While not entirely impossible - this is a formidable task. The answer to
your quesiton depends on the specifics of your situation and on what
additional information you are able to procure. Quite a few kinases have
specific sites; equal or greater numbers are only partially specific to a
greater or lesser extent. For instance, unregulated PKA will phosphorylate
as many Ser and Thr residues as it can find, provided that steric hindrance
isn't an issue. This is of course somewhat of an extreme example.

 

What other information is available to you?

Subject: [ccp4bb] Is it possible to predict the kinase when knowing a
phosphorylated substrate sequence?

 

Dear all,

 

Sorry for the non-CCP4 question. Could anyone please tell me is there a way
to predict the kinase when knowing a phosphorylated substrate sequence?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Cheers
