Summary Introduction
To review:
The most common sites in a protein that are phosphorylated during signal transduction cascade.
Introduction:
Signal transductionis the process in which an exchange of chemical signals takes place as a series of molecular events. Protein kinases catalyze the protein phosphorylation process thatresults in cellular responses. The binding of a ligand to the receptor produces changes which result in a signaling cascade (a chain of biochemical events along with signaling pathways). This cascade involves protein sites or subunits at which the phosphorylation takes place.

- Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that is responsible for the metabolism of the drugs azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine, which are used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. Metabolism by TPMT reduces the bioavailability of the drugs. In addition to the thiopurine substrates, TPMT also binds S-adenosyl methionine as a cofactor. TPMT is a highly polymorphic enzyme; almost 30 variants are known to be expressed in humans, with most of the variants possessing lower enzymatic activity than the wild-type protein (TPMTwt). Despite having substitutions remote from the active site, TPMT*2 (an A80P variant) and TPMT*5 (an L49S variant) have enzyme activities of 47% and 14% relative to TPMTwt at 18°C, respectively. Two techniques were used to understand the relationships between enzymatic activity and protein stability.
