Abstract
The cis vs trans conformation, or shape, of phosphoserine-proline (pSer-Pro), a prevalent motif in cell cycle proteins, may play a significant role in regulating mitosis. We demonstrate that Cdk1-cyclin B, the central mitotic kinase, is specific for the trans conformation, not cis, of synthetic, locked Ser-Pro 11-residue peptide substrates, using LC-MSMS detection and sequencing of phosphorylated products. This substrate stereospecificity may contribute an additional level of mitotic regulation.Entities:
