  2. Phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorylation

    Serine in an amino acid chain, before and after phosphorylation. In biochemistry, phosphorylation is the attachment of a phosphate group to a molecule or an ion. [1] This process and its inverse, dephosphorylation, are common in biology. [2] Protein phosphorylation often activates (or deactivates) many enzymes. [3] [4]

  3. Dephosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation

    The reversible phosphorylation-dephosphorylation reaction occurs in every physiological process, making proper function of protein phosphatases necessary for organism viability. Because protein dephosphorylation is a key process involved in cell signalling , [ 1 ] protein phosphatases are implicated in conditions such as cardiac disease ...

  4. Protein phosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_phosphorylation

    Phosphorylation alters the structural conformation of a protein, causing it to become activated, deactivated, or otherwise modifying its function. [1] Approximately 13,000 human proteins have sites that are phosphorylated. [2] The reverse reaction of phosphorylation is called dephosphorylation, and is catalyzed by protein phosphatases. Protein ...

  5. Protein phosphatase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_phosphatase

    Protein phosphorylation is one of the most common forms of reversible protein posttranslational modification , with up to 30% of all proteins being phosphorylated at any given time. Protein kinases (PKs) are the effectors of phosphorylation and catalyse the transfer of a γ-phosphate from ATP to specific amino acids on proteins. Several hundred ...

  6. Kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinase

    [1] In biochemistry, a kinase (/ ˈ k aɪ n eɪ s, ˈ k ɪ n eɪ s,-eɪ z /) [2] is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of phosphate groups from high-energy, phosphate-donating molecules to specific substrates. This process is known as phosphorylation, where the high-energy ATP molecule donates a phosphate group to the substrate molecule.

  7. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyruvate_dehydrogenase_kinase

    The opposite action of PDK, namely the dephosphorylation and activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase, is catalyzed by a phosphoprotein phosphatase called pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase. (Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase should not be confused with Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1, which is also sometimes known as "PDK1".)

  8. Protein phosphatase 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_phosphatase_1

    Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) ... Inhibition of PP1 prevents VP30 dephosphorylation, thus preventing manufacture of viral mRNA, and thus viral protein. The viral L ...

  9. Phosphorylation cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorylation_cascade

    Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation summary. A phosphorylation cascade is a sequence of signaling pathway events where one enzyme phosphorylates another, causing a chain reaction leading to the phosphorylation of thousands of proteins. This can be seen in signal transduction of hormone messages.
