Substrate profiling of the Arabidopsis Ca 2+-dependent protein kinase AtCPK4 and its Ricinus communis ortholog RcCDPK1. PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2023; 331:111675. [PMID: 36931565 DOI: 10.1016/j.plantsci.2023.111675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
AtCPK4 and AtCPK11 are Arabidopsis thaliana Ca2+-dependent protein kinase (CDPK) paralogs that have been reported to positively regulate abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction by phosphorylating ABA-responsive transcription factor-4 (AtABF4). By contrast, RcCDPK1, their closest Ricinus communis ortholog, participates in the control of anaplerotic carbon flux in developing castor oil seeds by catalyzing inhibitory phosphorylation of bacterial-type phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase at Ser451. LC-MS/MS revealed that AtCPK4 and RcCDPK1 transphosphorylated several common, conserved residues of AtABF4 and its castor ortholog, TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR ABA REGULATON. Arabidopsis atcpk4/atcpk11 mutants displayed an ABA-insensitive phenotype that corroborated the involvement of AtCPK4/11 in ABA signaling. A kinase-client assay was employed to identify additional AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 targets. Both CDPKs were separately incubated with a library of 2095 peptides representative of Arabidopsis protein phosphosites; five overlapping targets were identified including PLANT INTRACELLULAR RAS-GROUP-RELATED LEUCINE-RICH REPEAT PROTEIN-9 (AtPIRL9) and the E3-ubiquitin ligase ARABIDOPSIS TOXICOS EN LEVADURA 6 (AtATL6). AtPIRL9 and AtATL6 residues phosphorylated by AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 conformed to a CDPK recognition motif that was conserved amongst their respective orthologs. Collectively, this study provides evidence for novel AtCPK4/RcCDPK1 substrates, which may help to expand regulatory networks linked to Ca2+- and ABA-signaling, immune responses, and central carbon metabolism.

J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101578. [PMID: 35026226 PMCID: PMC8819029 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.101578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Revised: 12/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae PAH1-encoded phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase, which catalyzes the dephosphorylation of PA to produce diacylglycerol, controls the bifurcation of PA into triacylglycerol synthesis and phospholipid synthesis. Pah1 is inactive in the cytosol as a phosphorylated form and becomes active on the membrane as a dephosphorylated form by the Nem1-Spo7 protein phosphatase. We show that the conserved Trp-637 residue of Pah1, located in the intrinsically disordered region, is required for normal synthesis of membrane phospholipids, sterols, triacylglycerol, and the formation of lipid droplets. Analysis of mutant Pah1-W637A showed that the tryptophan residue is involved in the phosphorylation-mediated/dephosphorylation-mediated membrane association of the enzyme and its catalytic activity. The endogenous phosphorylation of Pah1-W637A was increased at the sites of the N-terminal region but was decreased at the sites of the C-terminal region. The altered phosphorylation correlated with an increase in its membrane association. In addition, membrane-associated PA phosphatase activity in vitro was elevated in cells expressing Pah1-W637A as a result of the increased membrane association of the mutant enzyme. However, the inherent catalytic function of Pah1 was not affected by the W637A mutation. Prediction of Pah1 structure by AlphaFold shows that Trp-637 and the catalytic residues Asp-398 and Asp-400 in the haloacid dehalogenase-like domain almost lie in the same plane, suggesting that these residues are important to properly position the enzyme for substrate recognition at the membrane surface. These findings underscore the importance of Trp-637 in Pah1 regulation by phosphorylation, membrane association of the enzyme, and its function in lipid synthesis.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is an essential regulatory mechanism that controls most cellular processes, integrating a variety of environmental signals to drive cellular growth. Isr1 is a negative regulator of the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), which produces UDP-GlcNAc, an essential carbohydrate that is the building block of N-glycosylation, GPI anchors and chitin. Isr1 was recently shown to be regulated by phosphorylation by the nutrient-responsive CDK kinase Pho85, allowing it to be targeted for degradation by the SCFCDC4. Here, we show that while deletion of PHO85 stabilizes Isr1 in asynchronous cells, Isr1 is still unstable in mitotically arrested cells in a pho85∆ strain. We provide evidence to suggest that this is through phosphorylation by CDK1. Redundant targeting of Isr1 by two distinct kinases may allow for tight regulation of the HBP in response to different cellular signals.

Abstract
A clear systematic delineation of the interactions between phosphorylation sites on substrates and their effector kinases plays a fundamental role in revealing cellular activities, understanding signaling modulation mechanisms and proposing novel hypotheses. The emergence of bioinformatics tools contributes to studying phosphorylation network. Some of them feature the visualization of network, enabling more effective trace of the underlying biological problems in a clear and succinct way. In this review, we aimed to provide a toolbox for exploring phosphorylation network. We first systematically surveyed 19 tools that are available for exploring phosphorylation networks, and subsequently comparatively analyzed and summarized these tools to guide tool selection in terms of functionality, data sources, performance, network visualization and implementation, and finally briefly discussed the application cases of these tools. In different scenarios, the conclusion on the suitability of a tool for a specific user may vary. Nevertheless, easily accessible bioinformatics tools are proved to facilitate biological findings. Hopefully, this work might also assist non-specialists, students, as well as computational scientists who aim at developing novel tools in the field of phosphorylation modification.

Abstract
The S. cerevisiae ISR1 gene encodes a putative kinase with no ascribed function. Here, we show that Isr1 acts as a negative regulator of the highly-conserved hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP), which converts glucose into uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), the carbohydrate precursor to protein glycosylation, GPI-anchor formation, and chitin biosynthesis. Overexpression of ISR1 is lethal and, at lower levels, causes sensitivity to tunicamycin and resistance to calcofluor white, implying impaired protein glycosylation and reduced chitin deposition. Gfa1 is the first enzyme in the HBP and is conserved from bacteria and yeast to humans. The lethality caused by ISR1 overexpression is rescued by co-overexpression of GFA1 or exogenous glucosamine, which bypasses GFA1's essential function. Gfa1 is phosphorylated in an Isr1-dependent fashion and mutation of Isr1-dependent sites ameliorates the lethality associated with ISR1 overexpression. Isr1 contains a phosphodegron that is phosphorylated by Pho85 and subsequently ubiquitinated by the SCF-Cdc4 complex, largely confining Isr1 protein levels to the time of bud emergence. Mutation of this phosphodegron stabilizes Isr1 and recapitulates the overexpression phenotypes. As Pho85 is a cell cycle and nutrient responsive kinase, this tight regulation of Isr1 may serve to dynamically regulate flux through the HBP and modulate how the cell's energy resources are converted into structural carbohydrates in response to changing cellular needs.

Abstract
Protein kinases are major regulatory components in almost all cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. By adding phosphate groups, protein kinases regulate the activity, localization, protein-protein interactions, and other features of their target proteins. It is known that protein kinases are central components in plant responses to environmental stresses such as drought, high salinity, cold, and pathogen attack. However, only a few targets of these protein kinases have been identified. Moreover, how these protein kinases regulate downstream biological processes and mediate stress responses is still largely unknown. In this study, we introduce a strategy based on isotope-labeled in vitro phosphorylation reactions using in vivo phosphorylated peptides as substrate pools and apply this strategy to identify putative substrates of nine protein kinases that function in plant abiotic and biotic stress responses. As a result, we identified more than 5,000 putative target sites of osmotic stress-activated SnRK2.4 and SnRK2.6, abscisic acid-activated protein kinases SnRK2.6 and casein kinase 1-like 2 (CKL2), elicitor-activated protein kinase CDPK11 and MPK6, cold-activated protein kinase MPK6, H2O2-activated protein kinase OXI1 and MPK6, and salt-induced protein kinase SOS1 and MPK6, as well as the low-potassium-activated protein kinase CIPK23. These results provide comprehensive information on the role of these protein kinases in the control of cellular activities and could be a valuable resource for further studies on the mechanisms underlying plant responses to environmental stresses.

Abstract
Kinases and transcription factors (TFs) are key modulators of important signaling pathways and their activities underlie the proper function of many basic cellular processes such as cell division, differentiation, and development. Changes in kinase and TF dosage are often associated with disease, yet a systematic assessment of the cellular phenotypes caused by the combined perturbation of kinases and TFs has not been undertaken. We used a reverse-genetics approach to study the phenotypic consequences of kinase and TF overexpression (OE) in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We constructed a collection of strains expressing stably integrated inducible alleles of kinases and TFs and used a variety of assays to characterize the phenotypes caused by TF and kinase OE. We used the Synthetic Genetic Array (SGA) method to examine dosage-dependent genetic interactions (GIs) between 239 gain-of-function (OE) alleles of TFs and six loss-of-function (LOF) and seven OE kinase alleles, the former identifying Synthetic Dosage Lethal (SDL) interactions and the latter testing a GI we call Double Dosage Lethality (DDL). We identified and confirmed 94 GIs between 65 OE alleles of TFs and 9 kinase alleles. Follow-up experiments validated regulatory relationships between genetically interacting pairs (Cdc28–Stb1 and Pho85–Pdr1), suggesting that GI studies involving OE alleles of regulatory proteins will be a rich source of new functional information.

Abstract
Background The determination of specific kinase substrates in vivo is challenging due to the large number of protein kinases in cells, their substrate specificity overlap, and the lack of highly specific inhibitors. In the late 90s, Shokat and coworkers developed a protein engineering-based method addressing the question of identification of substrates of protein kinases. The approach was based on the mutagenesis of the gatekeeper residue within the binding site of a protein kinase to change the co-substrate specificity from ATP to ATP analogues. One of the challenges in applying this method to other kinase systems is to identify the optimal combination of mutation in the enzyme and chemical derivative such that the ATP analogue acts as substrate for the engineered, but not the native kinase enzyme. In this study, we developed a computational protocol for estimating the effect of mutations at the gatekeeper position on the accessibility of ATP analogues within the binding site of engineered kinases. Results We tested the protocol on a dataset of tyrosine and serine/threonine protein kinases from the scientific literature where Shokat’s method was applied and experimental data were available. Our protocol correctly identified gatekeeper residues as the positions to mutate within the binding site of the studied kinase enzymes. Furthermore, the approach well reproduced the experimental data available in literature. Conclusions We have presented a computational protocol that scores how different mutations at the gatekeeper position influence the accommodation of various ATP analogues within the binding site of protein kinases. We have assessed our approach on protein kinases from the scientific literature and have verified the ability of the approach to well reproduce the available experimental data and identify suitable combinations of engineered kinases and ATP analogues.

Abstract
Dissection of direct kinase-substrate relationships provides invaluable information about phosphorylation pathways and can highlight both pathogenic mechanisms and possible drug targets for diseases in which abnormal kinase activity is linked to onset and progression. Here, we describe a mass spectrometry-based strategy to define the direct substrates of a kinase of interest. The kinase assay-linked phosphoproteomics approach examines putative kinase substrates both in vitro and in vivo to produce a list of highly confident substrates.

Disulfide-activated protein kinase G Iα regulates cardiac diastolic relaxation and fine-tunes the Frank-Starling response. Nat Commun 2016; 7:13187.

Abstract
The Frank–Starling mechanism allows the amount of blood entering the heart from the veins to be precisely matched with the amount pumped out to the arterial circulation. As the heart fills with blood during diastole, the myocardium is stretched and oxidants are produced. Here we show that protein kinase G Iα (PKGIα) is oxidant-activated during stretch and this form of the kinase selectively phosphorylates cardiac phospholamban Ser16—a site important for diastolic relaxation. We find that hearts of Cys42Ser PKGIα knock-in (KI) mice, which are resistant to PKGIα oxidation, have diastolic dysfunction and a diminished ability to couple ventricular filling with cardiac output on a beat-to-beat basis. Intracellular calcium dynamics of ventricular myocytes isolated from KI hearts are altered in a manner consistent with impaired relaxation and contractile function. We conclude that oxidation of PKGIα during myocardial stretch is crucial for diastolic relaxation and fine-tunes the Frank–Starling response. The stroke volume of the heart increases in response to an increase in the blood volume filling the heart. Here the authors reveal that this coordinated process is mediated in part by oxidative activation of the protein kinase G Iα, which phosphorylates phospholamban to enhance diastolic relaxation in mice.

Abstract
Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are regions of close apposition between different organelles that contribute to the functional integration of compartmentalized cellular processes. In recent years, we have gained insight into the molecular architecture of several contact sites, as well as into the regulatory mechanisms that underlie their roles in cell physiology. We provide an overview of two selected topics where lipid metabolism intersects with MCSs and organelle dynamics. First, the role of phosphatidic acid phosphatase, Pah1, the yeast homolog of metazoan lipin, toward the synthesis of triacylglycerol is outlined in connection with the seipin complex, Fld1/Ldb16, and lipid droplet formation. Second, we recapitulate the different contact sites connecting mitochondria and the endomembrane system and emphasize their contribution to phospholipid synthesis and their coordinated regulation. A comprehensive view is emerging where the multiplicity of contact sites connecting different cellular compartments together with lipid transfer proteins functioning at more than one MCS allow for functional redundancy and cross-regulation.

Abstract
Pah1 phosphatidate phosphatase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol (i.e. the production of diacylglycerol by dephosphorylation of phosphatidate). The enzyme playing a major role in lipid metabolism is subject to phosphorylation (e.g. by Pho85-Pho80, Cdc28-cyclin B, and protein kinases A and C) and dephosphorylation (e.g. by Nem1-Spo7) that regulate its cellular location, catalytic activity, and stability/degradation. In this work, we show that Pah1 is a substrate for casein kinase II (CKII); its phosphorylation was time- and dose-dependent and was dependent on the concentrations of Pah1 (Km = 0.23 μm) and ATP (Km = 5.5 μm). By mass spectrometry, truncation analysis, site-directed mutagenesis, phosphopeptide mapping, and phosphoamino acid analysis, we identified that >90% of its phosphorylation occurs on Thr-170, Ser-250, Ser-313, Ser-705, Ser-814, and Ser-818. The CKII-phosphorylated Pah1 was a substrate for the Nem1-Spo7 protein phosphatase and was degraded by the 20S proteasome. The prephosphorylation of Pah1 by protein kinase A or protein kinase C reduced its subsequent phosphorylation by CKII. The prephosphorylation of Pah1 by CKII reduced its subsequent phosphorylation by protein kinase A but not by protein kinase C. The expression of Pah1 with combined mutations of S705D and 7A, which mimic its phosphorylation by CKII and lack of phosphorylation by Pho85-Pho80, caused an increase in triacylglycerol content and lipid droplet number in cells expressing the Nem1-Spo7 phosphatase complex.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pah1 phosphatidate phosphatase, which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidate to diacylglycerol for triacylglycerol synthesis and simultaneously controls phosphatidate levels for phospholipid synthesis, is subject to the proteasome-mediated degradation in the stationary phase of growth. In this study, we examined the mechanism for its degradation using purified Pah1 and isolated proteasomes. Pah1 expressed in S. cerevisiae or Escherichia coli was not degraded by the 26S proteasome, but by its catalytic 20S core particle, indicating that its degradation is ubiquitin-independent. The degradation of Pah1 by the 20S proteasome was dependent on time and proteasome concentration at the pH optimum of 7.0. The 20S proteasomal degradation was conserved for human lipin 1 phosphatidate phosphatase. The degradation analysis using Pah1 truncations and its fusion with GFP indicated that proteolysis initiates at the N- and C-terminal unfolded regions. The folded region of Pah1, in particular the haloacid dehalogenase-like domain containing the DIDGT catalytic sequence, was resistant to the proteasomal degradation. The structural change of Pah1, as reflected by electrophoretic mobility shift, occurs through its phosphorylation by Pho85-Pho80, and the phosphorylation sites are located within its N- and C-terminal unfolded regions. Phosphorylation of Pah1 by Pho85-Pho80 inhibited its degradation, extending its half-life by ∼2-fold. The dephosphorylation of endogenously phosphorylated Pah1 by the Nem1-Spo7 protein phosphatase, which is highly specific for the sites phosphorylated by Pho85-Pho80, stimulated the 20S proteasomal degradation and reduced its half-life by 2.6-fold. These results indicate that the proteolysis of Pah1 by the 20S proteasome is controlled by its phosphorylation state.

Abstract
The family of transmembrane receptor kinase is the largest protein kinase family in Arabidopsis. However many of these kinases have yet uncharacterized functions and little is known about direct substrates of these kinases. Here, we present a large-scale phosphoproteomics method involving label-free quantitation-based comparative phosphopeptide profiling of knockout mutants in receptor-like kinases. This approach, among other physiological and cell biological experiments, is one step in understanding the functional roles of plant kinases in the context of their signaling networks.

Abstract
The evolutionarily conserved target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) controls growth-related processes such as protein, nucleotide, and lipid metabolism in response to growth hormones, energy/ATP levels, and amino acids. Its deregulation is associated with cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Among other substrates, mammalian TORC1 directly phosphorylates and inhibits the phosphatidate phosphatase lipin-1, a central enzyme in lipid metabolism that provides diacylglycerol for the synthesis of membrane phospholipids and/or triacylglycerol as neutral lipid reserve. Here, we show that yeast TORC1 inhibits the function of the respective lipin, Pah1, to prevent the accumulation of triacylglycerol. Surprisingly, TORC1 regulates Pah1 in part indirectly by controlling the phosphorylation status of Nem1 within the Pah1-activating, heterodimeric Nem1-Spo7 protein phosphatase module. Our results delineate a hitherto unknown TORC1 effector branch that controls lipin function in yeast, which, given the recent discovery of Nem1-Spo7 orthologous proteins in humans, may be conserved.

Abstract
External supply of sucrose to carbon-starved Arabidopsis seedlings induced changes in phosphorylation of Brassinosteroid Signaling Kinase 8 (BSK8) at two different sites. Serine S(20) lies within a phosphorylation hotspot at the N-terminal region of the protein, while S(213) is located within the kinase domain of BSK8. Upon sucrose supply phosphorylation of BSK8(S20) and BSK8(S213) showed opposite behavior with increasing phosphorylation of S(213) and decreased phosphorylation of S(20) at 5 min after sucrose supply. Here we aim to systematically analyze the effects of BSK8 mutations on downstream cellular regulatory events and characterize molecular functions of BSK8 and its phosphorylation. Comparative phosphoproteomic profiling of a bsk8 knockout mutant and wild type revealed potential targets in sucrose metabolism. Activity of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) was decreased by phosphorylation at S(152), and SPS phosphorylation inversely correlated with sucrose-induced BSK8 activity. Furthermore, BSK8 was found to interact with BSL2, a Kelch-type phosphatase. On the basis of a combination of kinase activity measurements, SPS activity assays, and phosphorylation site mutations in BSK8 at S(20) and S(213), we conclude that regulation of SPS by BSK8 occurs through activation of a phosphatase that in turn may dephosphorylate SPS and thus activates the enzyme.

Abstract
Yeast Pah1p is the phosphatidate phosphatase that catalyzes the penultimate step in triacylglycerol synthesis and plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of phospholipid synthesis genes. The enzyme is multiply phosphorylated, some of which is mediated by Pho85p-Pho80p, Cdc28p-cyclin B, and protein kinase A. Here, we showed that Pah1p is a bona fide substrate of protein kinase C; the phosphorylation reaction was time- and dose-dependent and dependent on the concentrations of ATP (Km = 4.5 μm) and Pah1p (Km = 0.75 μm). The stoichiometry of the reaction was 0.8 mol of phosphate/mol of Pah1p. By combining mass spectrometry, truncation analysis, site-directed mutagenesis, and phosphopeptide mapping, we identified Ser-677, Ser-769, Ser-773, and Ser-788 as major sites of phosphorylation. Analysis of Pah1p phosphorylations by different protein kinases showed that prephosphorylation with protein kinase C reduces its subsequent phosphorylation with protein kinase A and vice versa. Prephosphorylation with Pho85p-Pho80p had an inhibitory effect on its subsequent phosphorylation with protein kinase C; however, prephosphorylation with protein kinase C had no effect on the subsequent phosphorylation with Pho85p-Pho80p. Unlike its phosphorylations by Pho85p-Pho80p and protein kinase A, which cause a significant reduction in phosphatidate phosphatase activity, the phosphorylation of Pah1p by protein kinase C had a small stimulatory effect on the enzyme activity. Analysis of phosphorylation-deficient forms of Pah1p indicated that protein kinase C does not have a major effect on its location or its function in triacylglycerol synthesis, but instead, the phosphorylation favors loss of Pah1p abundance when it is not phosphorylated with Pho85p-Pho80p.

Abstract
The transmembrane receptor kinase family is the largest protein kinase family in Arabidopsis, and it contains the highest fraction of proteins with yet uncharacterized functions. Here, we present functions of SIRK1, a receptor kinase that was previously identified with rapid transient phosphorylation after sucrose resupply to sucrose-starved seedlings. SIRK1 was found to be an active kinase with increasing activity in the presence of an external sucrose supply. In sirk1 T-DNA insertional mutants, the sucrose-induced phosphorylation patterns of several membrane proteins were strongly reduced; in particular, pore-gating phosphorylation sites in aquaporins were affected. SIRK1-GFP fusions were found to directly interact with aquaporins in affinity pull-down experiments on microsomal membrane vesicles. Furthermore, protoplast swelling assays of sirk1 mutants and SIRK1-GFP expressing lines confirmed a direct functional interaction of receptor kinase SIRK1 and aquaporins as substrates for phosphorylation. A lack of SIRK1 expression resulted in the failure of mutant protoplasts to control water channel activity upon changes in external sucrose concentrations. We propose that SIRK1 is involved in the regulation of sucrose-specific osmotic responses through direct interaction with and activation of an aquaporin via phosphorylation and that the duration of this response is controlled by phosphorylation-dependent receptor internalization.

Abstract
Mapping kinase-substrate interactions demands robust methods to rapidly and unequivocally identify substrates from complex protein mixtures. Toward this goal, we present a method in which a kinase, engineered to utilize synthetic ATPγS analogs, specifically thiophosphorylates its substrates in a complex lysate. The thiophosphate label provides a bio-orthogonal tag that can be used to affinity purify and identify labeled proteins. Following the labeling reaction, proteins are digested with trypsin; thiol-containing peptides are then covalently captured and non-thiol-containing peptides are washed from the resin. Oxidation-promoted hydrolysis, at sites of thiophosphorylation, releases phosphopeptides for analysis by tandem mass spectrometry. By incorporating two specificity gates-kinase engineering and peptide affinity purification-this method yields high-confidence substrate identifications. This method gives both the identity of the substrates and phosphorylation-site localization. With this information, investigators can analyze the biological significance of the phosphorylation mark immediately following confirmation of the kinase-substrate relationship. Here, we provide an optimized version of this technique to further enable widespread utilization of this technology. Curr. Protoc. Chem Biol. 2:15-36. © 2010 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is the best-studied posttranslational modification and plays a role in virtually every biological process. Phosphoproteomics is the analysis of protein phosphorylation on a proteome-wide scale, and mainly uses the same instrumentation and analogous strategies as conventional mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Measurements can be performed either in a discovery-type, also known as shotgun mode, or in a targeted manner which monitors a set of a priori known phosphopeptides, such as members of a signal transduction pathway, across biological samples. Here, we delineate the different experimental levels at which measures can be taken to optimize the scope, reliability, and information content of phosphoproteomic analyses. Various chromatographic and chemical protocols exist to physically enrich phosphopeptides from proteolytic digests of biological samples. Subsequent mass spectrometric analysis revolves around peptide ion fragmentation to generate sequence information and identify the backbone sequence of phosphopeptides as well as the phosphate group attachment site(s), and different modes of fragmentation like collision-induced dissociation (CID), electron transfer dissociation (ETD), and higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD) have been established for phosphopeptide analysis. Computational tools are important for the identification and quantification of phosphopeptides and mapping of phosphorylation sites, the deposition of large-scale phosphoproteome datasets in public databases, and the extraction of biologically meaningful information by data mining, integration with other data types, and descriptive or predictive modeling. Finally, we discuss how orthogonal experimental approaches can be employed to validate newly identified phosphorylation sites on a biochemical, mechanistic, and physiological level.

Abstract
Since the discovery of protein phosphorylation as an important modulator of many cellular processes, the involvement of protein kinases in diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and central nervous system pathologies, has been extensively documented. Our understanding of many disease pathologies at the molecular level, therefore, requires the comprehensive identification of substrates targeted by protein kinases. In this review, we focus on recent techniques for kinase substrate identification in high throughput, in particular on genetic and proteomic approaches. Each method with its inherent advantages and limitations is discussed.

Abstract
Reversible phosphorylation, tightly controlled by protein kinases and phosphatases, plays a central role in mediating biological processes, such as protein-protein interactions, subcellular translocation, and activation of cellular enzymes. MS-based phosphoproteomics has now allowed the detection and quantification of tens of thousands of phosphorylation sites from a typical biological sample in a single experiment, which has posed new challenges in functional analysis of each and every phosphorylation site on specific signaling phosphoproteins of interest. In this article, we review recent advances in the functional analysis of targeted phosphorylation carried out by various chemical and biological approaches in combination with the MS-based phosphoproteomics. This review focuses on three types of strategies, including forward functional analysis, defined for the result-driven phosphoproteomics efforts in determining the substrates of a specific protein kinase; reverse functional analysis, defined for tracking the kinase(s) for specific phosphosite(s) derived from the discovery-driven phosphoproteomics efforts; and MS-based analysis on the structure-function relationship of phosphoproteins. It is expected that this review will provide a state-of-the-art overview of functional analysis of site-specific phosphorylation and explore new perspectives and outline future challenges.

Abstract
Protein kinases are the second largest human protein family, but in terms of research interest, both basic and applied, they are surely the most popular. Over the past decade, many techniques and approaches for studying the kinome have been described and the pace of development is ever increasing. Presently, a molecular biologist can approach the kinome from many different angles: what kinases are active during a specific cell state of interest or become activated in response to a specific stimulus? What are the effects of controlling the activation status of an individual kinase? What substrates are targeted by a particular kinase, either in general or under particular conditions? And what kinase is responsible for targeting a specific phosphorylation site of interest? These are some of the more commonly asked questions during any kinase-centric research project and different strategies have been devised for answering such queries. In this review, we outline the most promising of these approaches, particularly those with a capacity for high-throughput studies. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: From protein structures to clinical applications.

Abstract
Post-transcriptional modification of the tRNA anticodon loop is critical for translation. Yeast Trm7 is required for 2'-O-methylation of C(32) and N(34) of tRNA(Phe), tRNA(Trp), and tRNA(Leu(UAA)) to form Cm(32) and Nm(34), and trm7-Δ mutants have severe growth and translation defects, but the reasons for these defects are not known. We show here that overproduction of tRNA(Phe) suppresses the growth defect of trm7-Δ mutants, suggesting that the crucial biological role of Trm7 is the modification of tRNA(Phe). We also provide in vivo and in vitro evidence that Trm7 interacts with ORF YMR259c (now named Trm732) for 2'-O-methylation of C(32), and with Rtt10 (named Trm734) for 2'-O-methylation of N(34) of substrate tRNAs and provide evidence for a complex circuitry of anticodon loop modification of tRNA(Phe), in which formation of Cm(32) and Gm(34) drives modification of m(1)G(37) (1-methylguanosine) to yW (wyebutosine). Further genetic analysis shows that the slow growth of trm7-Δ mutants is due to the lack of both Cm(32) and Nm(34), and the accompanying loss of yW, because trm732-Δ trm734-Δ mutants phenocopy trm7-Δ mutants, whereas each single mutant is healthy; nonetheless, TRM732 and TRM734 each have distinct roles, since mutations in these genes have different genetic interactions with trm1-Δ mutants, which lack m(2,2)G(26) in their tRNAs. We speculate that 2'-O-methylation of the anticodon loop may be important throughout eukaryotes because of the widespread conservation of Trm7, Trm732, and Trm734 proteins, and the corresponding modifications, and because the putative human TRM7 ortholog FTSJ1 is implicated in nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation.

Abstract
Yeast Pah1p phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol. PAP plays a crucial role in lipid homeostasis by controlling the relative proportions of its substrate phosphatidate and its product diacylglycerol. The cellular amounts of these lipid intermediates influence the synthesis of triacylglycerol and the pathways by which membrane phospholipids are synthesized. Physiological functions affected by PAP activity include phospholipid synthesis gene expression, nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane growth, lipid droplet formation, and vacuole homeostasis and fusion. Yeast lacking Pah1p PAP activity are acutely sensitive to fatty acid-induced toxicity and exhibit respiratory deficiency. PAP is distinguished in its cellular location, catalytic mechanism, and physiological functions from Dpp1p and Lpp1p lipid phosphate phosphatases that utilize a variety of substrates that include phosphatidate. Phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is a major mechanism by which Pah1p PAP activity is regulated. Pah1p is phosphorylated by cytosolic-associated Pho85p-Pho80p, Cdc28p-cyclin B, and protein kinase A and is dephosphorylated by the endoplasmic reticulum-associated Nem1p-Spo7p phosphatase. The dephosphorylation of Pah1p stimulates PAP activity and facilitates the association with the membrane/phosphatidate allowing for its reaction and triacylglycerol synthesis. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Phospholipids and Phospholipid Metabolism.

Abstract
Pah1p, which functions as phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, plays a crucial role in lipid homeostasis by controlling the relative proportions of its substrate phosphatidate and its product diacylglycerol. The diacylglycerol produced by PAP is used for the synthesis of triacylglycerol as well as for the synthesis of phospholipids via the Kennedy pathway. Pah1p is a highly phosphorylated protein in vivo and has been previously shown to be phosphorylated by the protein kinases Pho85p-Pho80p and Cdc28p-cyclin B. In this work, we showed that Pah1p was a bona fide substrate for protein kinase A, and we identified by mass spectrometry and mutagenesis that Ser-10, Ser-677, Ser-773, Ser-774, and Ser-788 were the target sites of phosphorylation. Protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of Pah1p inhibited its PAP activity by decreasing catalytic efficiency, and the inhibitory effect was primarily conferred by phosphorylation at Ser-10. Analysis of the S10A and S10D mutations (mimicking dephosphorylation and phosphorylation, respectively), alone or in combination with the seven alanine (7A) mutations of the sites phosphorylated by Pho85p-Pho80p and Cdc28p-cyclin B, indicated that phosphorylation at Ser-10 stabilized Pah1p abundance and inhibited its association with membranes, PAP activity, and triacylglycerol synthesis. The S10A mutation enhanced the physiological effects imparted by the 7A mutations, whereas the S10D mutations attenuated the effects of the 7A mutations. These data indicated that the protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation of Ser-10 functions in conjunction with the phosphorylations mediated by Pho85p-Pho80p and Cdc28p-cyclin B and that phospho-Ser-10 should be dephosphorylated for proper PAP function.

Abstract
The cellular proto-oncogene c-Src is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase involved in cell growth and cytoskeletal regulation. Despite being dysregulated in a variety of human cancers, its precise functions are not fully understood. Identification of the substrates of c-Src remains a major challenge, because there is no simple way to directly stimulate its activity. Here we combine the chemical rescue of mutant c-Src and global quantitative phosphoproteomics to obtain the first high resolution snapshot of the range of tyrosine phosphorylation events that occur in the cell immediately after specific c-Src stimulation. After enrichment by anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, we identified 29 potential novel c-Src substrate proteins. Tyrosine phosphopeptide mapping allowed the identification of 382 nonredundant tyrosine phosphopeptides on 213 phosphoproteins. Stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture-based quantitation allowed the detection of 97 nonredundant tyrosine phosphopeptides whose level of phosphorylation is increased by c-Src. A large number of previously uncharacterized c-Src putative protein targets and phosphorylation sites are presented here, a majority of which play key roles in signaling and cytoskeletal networks, particularly in cell adhesion. Integrin signaling and focal adhesion kinase signaling pathway are two of the most altered pathways upon c-Src activation through chemical rescue. In this context, our study revealed the temporal connection between c-Src activation and the GTPase Rap1, known to stimulate integrin-dependent adhesion. Chemical rescue of c-Src provided a tool to dissect the spatiotemporal mechanism of activation of the Rap1 guanine exchange factor, C3G, one of the identified potential c-Src substrates that plays a role in focal adhesion signaling. In addition to unveiling the role of c-Src in the cell and, specifically, in the Crk-C3G-Rap1 pathway, these results exemplify a strategy for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the functions of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases with high specificity and kinetic resolution.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation continues to be regarded as one of the most important post-translational modifications found in eukaryotes and has been implicated in key roles in the development of a number of human diseases. In order to elucidate roles for the 518 human kinases, phosphorylation has routinely been studied using the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system. In recent years, a number of technologies have emerged to globally map phosphorylation in yeast. In this article, we review these technologies and discuss how these phosphorylation mapping efforts have shed light on our understanding of kinase signaling pathways and eukaryotic proteomic networks in general.

Abstract
The yeast Pah1p phosphatidate phosphatase, which catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol and plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of phospholipid synthesis genes, is a cytosolic enzyme that associates with the nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane to catalyze the dephosphorylation of phosphatidate to yield diacylglycerol. Pah1p is phosphorylated on seven (Ser-110, Ser-114, Ser-168, Ser-602, Thr-723, Ser-744, and Ser-748) sites that are targets for proline-directed protein kinases. In this work, we showed that the seven sites are phosphorylated by Pho85p-Pho80p, a protein kinase-cyclin complex known to regulate a variety of cellular processes. The phosphorylation of recombinant Pah1p was time- and dose-dependent and dependent on the concentrations of ATP (3.7 μm) and Pah1p (0.25 μm). Phosphorylation reduced (6-fold) the catalytic efficiency (V(max)/K(m)) of Pah1p and reduced (3-fold) its interaction (K(d)) with liposomes. Alanine mutations of the seven sites ablated the inhibitory effect that Pho85p-Pho80p had on Pah1p activity and on the interaction with liposomes. Analysis of pho85Δ mutant cells, phosphate-starved wild type cells, and cells expressing phosphorylation-deficient forms of Pah1p indicated that loss of Pho85p-Pho80p phosphorylation reduced Pah1p abundance. In contrast, lack of Nem1p-Spo7p, the phosphatase complex that dephosphorylates Pah1p at the nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane, stabilized Pah1p abundance. Although loss of phosphorylation caused a decrease in abundance, a greater amount of Pah1p was associated with membranes when compared with phosphorylated enzyme, and the loss of phosphorylation allowed bypass of the Nem1p-Spo7p requirement for Pah1p function in the synthesis of triacylglycerol.

Abstract
Studies of the processes leading to the construction of a bud and its separation from the mother cell in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have provided foundational paradigms for the mechanisms of polarity establishment, cytoskeletal organization, and cytokinesis. Here we review our current understanding of how these morphogenetic events occur and how they are controlled by the cell-cycle-regulatory cyclin-CDK system. In addition, defects in morphogenesis provide signals that feed back on the cyclin-CDK system, and we review what is known regarding regulation of cell-cycle progression in response to such defects, primarily acting through the kinase Swe1p. The bidirectional communication between morphogenesis and the cell cycle is crucial for successful proliferation, and its study has illuminated many elegant and often unexpected regulatory mechanisms. Despite considerable progress, however, many of the most puzzling mysteries in this field remain to be resolved.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important posttranslational modifications (PTMs) involved in the transduction of cellular signals. The number of kinases in eukaryotic genomes ranges from several hundred to over one thousand. And with rapidly evolving mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, thousands to tens of thousands of phosphorylation sites (phosphosites) have been reported from various eukaryotic organisms, from man to plants. In this relative context, few bona fide kinase-client relationships have been identified to date. To merge the gap between these phosphosites and the cognate kinases that beget these events, comparable large-scale methodologies are required. We describe in detail a MS-based method for identifying kinase-client interactions and quantifying kinase activity. We term this novel Kinase-Client assay, the KiC assay. The KiC assay relies upon the fact that substrate specificities of many kinases are largely determined by primary amino acid sequence or phosphorylation motifs, which consist of key amino acids surrounding the phosphorylation sites. The workflow for detecting kinase-substrate interactions includes four major steps: (1) preparation of purified kinases and synthetic peptide library, (2) in vitro kinase peptide library assay, (3) liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem MS (MS/MS) analysis, and (4) data processing and interpretation. Kinase activity is quantified with the KiC assay by monitoring spectral counts of phosphorylated and unphosphorylated peptides as the readout from LC-tandem mass spectrometry. The KiC assay can be applied as a discovery assay to screen kinases against a synthetic peptide library to find kinase-client relationships or as a targeted assay to characterize kinase kinetics.

Abstract
Adi3 is a protein kinase from tomato that functions as a cell death suppressor and its substrates are not well defined. As a step toward identifying Adi3 substrates we developed an ATP analog-sensitive version of Adi3 in which the ATP-binding pocket is mutated to allow use of bulky ATP analogs. Met385 was identified as the "gatekeeper" residue and the M385G mutation allows for the use of two bulky ATP analogs. Adi3(M385G) can also specifically utilize N(6)-benzyl-ATP to phosphorylate a known substrate and provides a tool for identifying Adi3 substrates.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with its full complement of organelles, synthesizes membrane phospholipids by pathways that are generally common to those found in higher eukaryotes. Phospholipid synthesis in yeast is regulated in response to a variety of growth conditions (e.g., inositol supplementation, zinc depletion, and growth stage) by a coordination of genetic (e.g., transcriptional activation and repression) and biochemical (e.g., activity modulation and localization) mechanisms. Phosphatidate (PA), whose cellular levels are controlled by the activities of key phospholipid synthesis enzymes, plays a central role in the transcriptional regulation of phospholipid synthesis genes. In addition to the regulation of gene expression, phosphorylation of key phospholipid synthesis catalytic and regulatory proteins controls the metabolism of phospholipid precursors and products.

Abstract
Zipper-interacting protein kinase (ZIPK) has been implicated in Ca(2+)-independent smooth muscle contraction, although its specific role is unknown. The addition of ZIPK to demembranated rat caudal arterial strips induced an increase in force, which correlated with increases in LC(20) and MYPT1 phosphorylation. However, because of the number of kinases capable of phosphorylating LC(20) and MYPT1, it has proven difficult to identify the mechanism underlying ZIPK action. Therefore, we set out to identify bona fide ZIPK substrates using a chemical genetics method that takes advantage of ATP analogs with bulky substituents at the N(6) position and an engineered ZIPK capable of utilizing such substrates. (32)P-Labeled 6-phenyl-ATP and ZIPK-L93G mutant protein were added to permeabilized rat caudal arterial strips, and substrate proteins were detected by autoradiography following SDS-PAGE. Mass spectrometry identified LC(20) as a direct target of ZIPK in situ for the first time. Tissues were also exposed to 6-phenyl-ATP and ZIPK-L93G in the absence of endogenous ATP, and putative ZIPK substrates were identified by Western blotting. LC(20) was thereby confirmed as a direct target of ZIPK; however, no phosphorylation of MYPT1 was detected. We conclude that ZIPK is involved in the regulation of smooth muscle contraction through direct phosphorylation of LC(20).

Abstract
Members of the sphingosine kinase (SK) family of lipid signaling enzymes, comprising SK1 and SK2 in humans, are receiving considerable attention for their roles in a number of physiological and pathophysiological processes. The SKs are considered signaling enzymes based on their production of the potent lipid second messenger sphingosine-1-phosphate, which is the ligand for a family of five G-protein-linked receptors. Both SK1 and SK2 are intracellular enzymes and do not possess obvious membrane anchor domains within their primary sequences. The native substrates (sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine) are lipids, as are the corresponding products, and therefore would have a propensity to be membrane associated, suggesting that specific membrane localization of the SKs could affect both access to substrate and localized production of product. Here, we consider the emerging picture of the SKs as enzymes localized to specific intracellular sites, sometimes by agonist-dependent translocation, the mechanism targeting these enzymes to those sites, and the functional consequence of that localization. Not only is the signaling output of the SKs affected by subcellular localization, but the role of these enzymes as metabolic regulators of sphingolipid metabolism may be impacted as well.

Abstract
The PAH1-encoded phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a pivotal enzyme that produces diacylglycerol for the synthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG) and simultaneously controls the level of PA used for phospholipid synthesis. Quantitative lipid analysis showed that the pah1Δ mutation caused a reduction in TAG mass and an elevation in the mass of phospholipids and free fatty acids, changes that were more pronounced in the stationary phase. The levels of unsaturated fatty acids in the pah1Δ mutant were unaltered, although the ratio of palmitoleic acid to oleic acid was increased with a similar change in the fatty acid composition of phospholipids. The pah1Δ mutant exhibited classic hallmarks of apoptosis in stationary phase and a marked reduction in the quantity of cytoplasmic lipid droplets. Cells lacking PA phosphatase were sensitive to exogenous fatty acids in the order of toxicity palmitoleic acid > oleic acid > palmitic acid. In contrast, the growth of wild type cells was not inhibited by fatty acid supplementation. In addition, wild type cells supplemented with palmitoleic acid exhibited an induction in PA phosphatase activity and an increase in TAG synthesis. Deletion of the DGK1-encoded diacylglycerol kinase, which counteracts PA phosphatase in controlling PA content, suppressed the defect in lipid droplet formation in the pah1Δ mutant. However, the sensitivity of the pah1Δ mutant to palmitoleic acid was not rescued by the dgk1Δ mutation. Overall, these findings indicate a key role of PA phosphatase in TAG synthesis for protection against fatty acid-induced toxicity.

KID includes 6,225 low-throughput and 21,990 high-throughput interactions, from greater than 35,000 experiments. By quantitatively integrating these data, we identified 517 high-confidence kinase-substrate pairs that we consider a gold standard. We show that this gold standard can be used to assess published high-throughput datasets, suggesting that it will enable similar rigorous assessments in the future.

Abstract
Identification of protein kinase targets and specific inhibition of individual kinase isoforms on the protein level in planta are important techniques to elucidate signal transduction pathways. The use of ATP-binding pocket mutants, the so-called gatekeeper mutants, that accommodate N(6)-enlarged nucleotides and kinase inhibitors has allowed a dramatic increase in kinase isoform selectivity. In this chapter, we describe protocols for the identification and mutation of the gatekeeper residue, radiolabeling of N(6)-modified nucleotides, analysis of protein targets by using [(32)P]-labeled N(6)-modified nucleotides, and in vivo inhibition of kinase activity combined with subsequent molecular readouts. The chapter includes alternative approaches for the described techniques, considerations for other kinases and recommendations toward a setup of a substrate labeling experiment using total cell lysate.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae PAH1-encoded phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol and plays a role in the transcriptional regulation of phospholipid synthesis genes. PAP is phosphorylated at multiple Ser and Thr residues and is dephosphorylated for in vivo function by the Nem1p-Spo7p protein phosphatase complex localized in the nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane. In this work, we characterized seven previously identified phosphorylation sites of PAP that are within the Ser/Thr-Pro motif. When expressed on a low copy plasmid, wild type PAP could not complement the pah1Δ mutant in the absence of the Nem1p-Spo7p complex. However, phosphorylation-deficient PAP (PAP-7A) containing alanine substitutions for the seven phosphorylation sites bypassed the requirement of the phosphatase complex and complemented the pah1Δ nem1Δ mutant phenotypes, such as temperature sensitivity, nuclear/endoplasmic reticulum membrane expansion, decreased triacylglycerol synthesis, and derepression of INO1 expression. Subcellular fractionation coupled with immunoblot analysis showed that PAP-7A was highly enriched in the membrane fraction. In fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, the PAP-7A showed tighter association with phospholipid vesicles than wild type PAP. Using site-directed mutagenesis of PAP, we identified Ser(602), Thr(723), and Ser(744), which belong to the seven phosphorylation sites, as the sites phosphorylated by the CDC28 (CDK1)-encoded cyclin-dependent kinase. Compared with the dephosphorylation mimic of the seven phosphorylation sites, alanine substitution for Ser(602), Thr(723), and/or Ser(744) had a partial effect on circumventing the requirement for the Nem1p-Spo7p complex.

Abstract
The past ten years have seen a contained explosion of interest in inositol pyrophosphates. The early cloning of the IP6Ks and the more recent identification of the PP-IP5Ks have allowed the development of essential experimental tools to investigate the physiological role of inositol pyrophosphates. However, for this exciting field of research to gain momentum, simpler and more reliable research protocols need to be further developed. The ability to resolve and quantify inositol pyrophosphates using gel electrophoresis (Losito et al., 2009) has dramatically altered the way we are studying this class of molecules, opening new avenues for research. The use of this technology to resolve, detect and characterize inositol pyrophosphates extracted from cells certainly represents one desirable aim. The most crucial objective, however, is to obtain definite proof of the new mechanism of post-translational modification by identifying with biophysical methods the presence in vivo of pyrophosphorylated serines. This will hopefully precipitate the development of new ways to detect this modification, for example through the production of antibodies that specifically recognize pyrophosphorylated serines.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a protocol for the global identification of in vitro substrates targeted by protein kinases using protein microarray technology. Large numbers of fusion proteins tagged at their carboxy-termini are purified in 96-well format and spotted in duplicate onto amino-silane-coated slides in a spatially addressable manner. These arrays are incubated in the presence of purified kinase and radiolabeled ATP, and then washed, dried and analyzed by autoradiography. The extent of phosphorylation of each spot is quantified and normalized, and proteins that are reproducibly phosphorylated in the presence of the active kinase relative to control slides are scored as positive substrates. This approach enables the rapid determination of kinase-substrate relationship on a proteome-wide scale, and although developed using yeast, has since been adapted to higher eukaryotic systems. Expression, purification and printing of the yeast proteome require about 3 weeks. Afterwards, each kinase assay takes approximately 3 h to perform.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of proteins is a predominant, reversible post-translational modification. It is central to a wide variety of physiological responses and signaling mechanisms. Recent advances have allowed the global scope of phosphorylation to be addressed by mass spectrometry using phosphoproteomic approaches. In this perspective, we discuss four aspects of phosphoproteomics: the insights and implications from recently published phosphoproteomic studies and the applications and limitations of current phosphoproteomic strategies. Since approximately 50,000 known phosphorylation sites do not yet have any ascribed function, we present our perspectives on a major function of protein phosphorylation that may be of predictive value in hypothesis-based investigations. Finally, we discuss strategies to measure the stoichiometry of phosphorylation in a proteome-wide manner that is not provided by current phosphoproteomic approaches.

Abstract
Pathways linking oncogenic mutations to increased proliferative or migratory capacity are poorly characterized, yet provide potential targets for therapeutic intervention. As tyrosine phosphorylation signaling networks are known to mediate proliferation and migration, and frequently go awry in cancers, a comprehensive understanding of these networks in normal and diseased states is warranted. To this end, recent advances in mass spectrometry, protein microarrays, and computational algorithms provide insight into various aspects of the network including phosphotyrosine identification, analysis of kinase/phosphatase substrates, and phosphorylation-mediated protein-protein interactions. Here we detail technological advances underlying these system-level approaches and give examples of their applications. By combining multiple approaches, it is now possible to quantify changes in the phosphotyrosine signaling network with various oncogenic mutations, thereby unveiling novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Phosphorylation of proteins is a prevalent post-translational modification, which affects intracellular signaling in many ways. About 2% of all eukaryotic genes code for protein kinases catalyzing phosphorylation events. Despite technological advances that have made it possible to identify thousands of phosphorylation sites simultaneously, identification of the substrates of a given kinase remains an exceptionally challenging task. Here, we summarize approaches for substrate identification that make use of genetically engineered 'analog-sensitive' kinases.

Abstract
Chemical genetic studies with enlarged ATP binding sites and unnatural ATP analogues have been applied to protein kinases for characterisation and substrate identification. Although this system is becoming widely used, there are limited data available about the kinetic profile of the modified system. Here we describe a detailed comparison of the wild-type cdk2 and the mutant gatekeeper kinase to assess the relative efficiencies of these kinases with ATP and unnatural ATP analogues. Our data demonstrate that mutation of the kinase alters neither the substrate specificity nor the phosphorylation site specificity. We find comparable K(M)/V(max) values for mutant cdk2 and wild-type kinase. Furthermore, F80G cdk2 is efficiently able to compensate for a defective cdk in a biological setting.
