Kinases, which are responsible for the activation of a number of proteins, serve to add phosphate groups onto all below except
A) Tyrosine Residues
B) Serine Residues
C) Theronine residues
D) Cysteine Residues
Protein kinases are enzymes responsible for the addition of phosphate group to protein substrates. Phosphorylation(addition of phosphate group) occurs on the amino acids which contain a hydroxyl group(OH) in their side chain. Two types of protein kinases are found in eukaryotes -
There are also some kinases that act on all three residues in the eukaryotic cell. The activity of kinase results in change in enzymatic activity, location in the cell or association with other proteins. Phosphorylation helps regulate many cellular activities like proliferation, gene expression, metabolism, motility, signal transmission etc.
- Cysteine is the sulphur
containing amino acid. It is different from the above amino acids
since it does not contain a hydroxyl group but thiol(SH)group in its side
chain. Therefore, Kinase does not act on a cysteine residue.

The series of molecules that are activated form a signalling
pathway (Figure 3). Central to the signaling pathway are molecules
known as kinases and phosphatases. Protein kinases are molecules
that catalyze the addition of phosphate groups to proteins there by
activating them. Primarily they add phosphate to either tyrosine
residues or serine and threonine residues in proteins. Phosphates
are molecules that remove a phosphate group from a protein there by
de-activating the protein and resulting in shutting down of the...

Phosphatases are a family of enzymes that remove phosphate groups from specific proteins; these phosphate groups had been added to the proteins by protein kinases. Vanadate is an inhibitor of phosphatases in eukaryotic cells. What effect would vanadate have on the response of cells to signals received by receptor kinases? A) The signal would still bind the receptor, so there would be no effect. B) The response of the cell would last longer than it normally would. C) The response...
