* Protein kinase C phosphorylation site *
*****************************************

In vivo, protein kinase C  exhibits  a  preference  for the phosphorylation of
serine or  threonine residues found close to a C-terminal basic residue [1,2].
The presence  of  additional   basic residues at the  N- or C-terminal of  the
target amino acid enhances the Vmax and Km of the phosphorylation reaction.

-Consensus pattern: [ST]-x-[RK]
                    [S or T is the phosphorylation site]
-Last update: June 1988 / First entry.
