Phosphatidylinositol kinases are found in all eukaryotes and serve important functions in phosphatidylinositol (PI) signaling pathways. All PI3Ks and PI4Ks contain a conserved PI-kinase domain (see <PDOC00710>), and most have various additional domains that are involved in protein-protein or phospholipid-protein interactions [1,2]. The phosphoinositide kinase (PIK) domain is a region conserved among all PI3 and PI4-kinases and although its role is presently unclear, it is likely to be involved in substrate presentation [3].
The PIK domain folds as an all α-helical structure (see <PDB:2RD0>) [4].
The profile we developed covers the entire PIK helical domain.
