摘要 |
The invention provides a method for determining an amino acid sequence motif for a phosphorylation site of a protein kinase. In the method of the invention, a protein kinase is contacted with an oriented degenerate peptide library, peptides within the library which are substrates for the kinase are converted to phosphopeptides and the phosphopeptides are separated from non-phosphorylated peptides. The isolated phosphopeptides are sequenced and an amino acid sequence motif for the phosphorylation site is determined based upon the relative abundance of different amino acids residues at each degenerate position. The invention also provides peptide substrates for protein kinase A, cell cycle control kinases (including cyclin B/p33cdc2 and cyclin A/p33CDK2), src family kinases (including pp60c-src and pp60v-src), EGF receptor, p92c-fps/fes, lck, c-abl, PDGF receptor, FGF receptor, insulin receptor, casein kinase II, NIMA kinase, phosphorylase kinase, Cam kinase II and Erk1 based upon amino acid sequence motifs for the phosphorylation sites of these kinases.
