Abstract

We define phosphovariants as genetic variations that change phosphorylation sites or their interacting kinases. Considering the essential role of phosphorylation in protein functions, it is highly likely that phosphovariants change protein functions. Therefore, a comparison of phosphovariants between individuals or between species can give clues about phenotypic differences. We categorized phosphovariants into three subtypes and developed a system that predicts them. Our method can be used to screen important polymorphisms and help to identify the mechanisms of genetic diseases.

Sequence logos of amino acid sequences near phosphorylation sites recognized by the CMGC kinase group. The horizontal axis represents sequential positions relative to the phosphorylation site. The vertical axis represents decreases in uncertainty. Each letter refers to an amino acid. As the frequency of an amino acid at a given position increases, its height increases.
