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:
Mutations are associated with susceptibility to breast cancer with tumour subtypes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations carriers.
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: 0.04 % in 24433 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is -52 % lower than the average rate of 0.075 % calculated for human protein kinases in general. Such a low frequency of mutation in human cancers is consistent with this protein kinase playing a role as a tumour requiring protein (TRP).
Mutation Rate in Specific Cancers:
Highest percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.33 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.3 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.24 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.22 % in 1259 large intestine cancers tested; 0.16 % in 1634 lung cancers tested; 0.1 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.1 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.09 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.09 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.08 % in 833 ovary cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1316 breast cancers tested; 0.05 % in 1276 kidney cancers tested; 0.04 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1437 pancreas cancers tested; 0.03 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.03 % in 2009 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested; 0.01 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.01 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.01 % in 2103 central nervous system cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: P611L (5).
Comments:
Only 2 deletions, and no insertions or complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
