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:
Heart disorder
Specific Diseases (Non-cancerous):
Coronary heart disease 5 (CHDS5)
Comments:
Coronary Heart Disease 5 (CHDS5) is the result of lack of sufficient blood flow to the heart, leading to complications.
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: Bladder carcinomas (%CFC= -52, p<0.0009); and Ovary adenocarcinomas (%CFC= +122, p<0.0006).
Mutagenesis Experiments:
Insertional mutagenesis studies in mice have not yet revealed a role for this protein kinase in mouse cancer oncogenesis. A K2712A mutation in TRAD can result in inhibited autophosphorylation.
Mutation Rate in All Cancers:
Percent mutation rates per 100 amino acids length in human cancers: 0.08 % in 24434 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is very similar (+ 3% higher) to 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: 0.43 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.26 % in 589 stomach cancers tested; 0.25 % in 1229 large intestine cancers tested; 0.19 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.17 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.17 % in 1609 lung cancers tested; 0.09 % in 273 cervix cancers tested; 0.09 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.08 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.07 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.05 % in 942 upper aerodigestive tract cancers tested; 0.04 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1289 breast cancers tested; 0.03 % in 1982 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested; 0.03 % in 1437 pancreas cancers tested; 0.03 % in 1253 kidney cancers tested; 0.02 % in 807 ovary cancers tested; 0.02 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.02 % in 441 autonomic ganglia cancers tested; 0.01 % in 382 soft tissue cancers tested; 0.01 % in 2030 central nervous system cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R313W (4); R520W (4); R520Q (2).
Comments:
Only 8 deletions, 2 insertions, and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website. About 39% of the point mutations are silent and do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein kinase.
