Protein Kinase Specificity
Matrix of observed frequency (%) of amino acids in aligned protein substrate phosphosites

Matrix Type:
Predicted from the application of the Kinexus Kinase Substrate Predictor Version 2.0 algorithm, which was trained with over 10,000 kinase-protein substrate pairs and 8,000 kinase-peptide substrate pairs.
Domain #:
1
Disease Linkage
General Disease Association:
Cancer
Specific Cancer Types:
Breast cancer
Comments:
A translocation of the MAST2 may be involved in breast carcinoma and pre-invasive lesions.
Gene Expression in Cancers:
TranscriptoNET (www.transcriptonet.ca) analysis with mRNA expression data retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which was normalized against 60 abundantly and commonly found proteins, indicated altered expression for this protein kinase as shown here as the percent change from normal tissue controls (%CFC) as supported with the Student T-test in the following types of human cancers: Barrett's esophagus epithelial metaplasia (%CFC= +74, p<0.021); Breast epithelial cell carcinomas (%CFC= +51, p<0.033); Lung adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +117, p<0.002); and Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +118, p<0.005).
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.05 % in 24494 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is only -30 % lower than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general.
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.34 % in 1052 large intestine cancers tested; 0.18 % in 805 skin cancers tested; 0.14 % in 569 stomach cancers tested; 0.11 % in 602 endometrium cancers tested; 0.1 % in 820 ovary cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1594 lung cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1270 liver cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
None > 2 in 20,253 cancer specimens
Comments:
Eight deletions (7 at F726fs*12 ) and 4 (2 at G727fs*14) insertions, and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
