Type: Binary Subtype: Physicochemical compatibility | |||||||
| PTM of a residue in a motif or in its flanking regions alters the physicochemical and/or structural compatibility of the motif with its binding partner. This can either induce or enhance an interaction, or result in inhibition or even abrogation of an interaction. | |||||||
| PTEN_HUMAN | CLV_C14_Caspase3-7 | 381 | 385 | Phosphorylation of S385 adjacent to the cleavage motif of Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase and dual-specificity protein phosphatase PTEN (PTEN) by CK2 subfamily prevents cleavage by Caspase-3 (CASP3). | |||
Type: Binary Subtype: Pre‑translational | |||||||
| Pre-translational mechanisms such as alternative splicing, alternative promoter-usage and/or RNA editing result in inclusion or removal of exons that contain an entire or partial motif. | |||||||
| KPCD_HUMAN | CLV_C14_Caspase3-7 | 326 | 330 | Alternative splicing inserts exons within the Caspase-3 scission motif of Protein kinase C delta type (PRKCD), abrogating binding to Caspase-3 (CASP3). Cleavage of PKCdeltaI Protein kinase C delta type (PRKCD) by caspase-3 releases a catalytically active C-terminal fragment that is sufficient to induce apoptosis. This inserted exon disrupts scission motifs and therefore the PKCdeltaVIII (GENBANK:DQ516383) splice variant functions as an anti-apoptotic protein in NT2 cells. | |||
