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:
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH); Megakaryocytic leukemias (MKL)
Comments:
Trb1 was found overexpressed in HeLa cells, which contribute to repressed IL8 promoter. The gene was identified as cytogenetic hallmark of genomic amplification in 1% of karyotypically abnormal acute myeloid leukemias. The protein was also shown to support prostate tumorigenesis and tumour-propagating cell survival by regulation of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone expression.
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: 0.08 % in 24433 diverse cancer specimens. This rate is very similar (+ 10% 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: 0.4 % in 603 endometrium cancers tested; 0.37 % in 1229 large intestine cancers tested; 0.31 % in 864 skin cancers tested; 0.21 % in 382 soft tissue cancers tested; 0.15 % in 710 oesophagus cancers tested; 0.15 % in 555 stomach cancers tested; 0.15 % in 1437 pancreas cancers tested; 0.11 % in 238 bone cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1608 lung cancers tested; 0.08 % in 1289 breast cancers tested; 0.06 % in 881 prostate cancers tested; 0.06 % in 1253 kidney cancers tested; 0.05 % in 558 thyroid cancers tested; 0.05 % in 548 urinary tract cancers tested; 0.04 % in 1512 liver cancers tested; 0.03 % in 807 ovary cancers tested; 0.01 % in 1982 haematopoietic and lymphoid cancers tested.
Frequency of Mutated Sites:
Most frequent mutations with the number of reports indicated in brackets: R297W (5); F317S (3).
Comments:
Only 2 deletions and 1 insertion, and no complex mutations are noted on the COSMIC website.
