Bw. Wetterauer et al., A PROTEIN-KINASE FROM DICTYOSTELIUM-DISCOIDEUM WITH AN UNUSUAL ACIDICREPEAT DOMAIN, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular cell research, 1265(1), 1995, pp. 97-101
DdKinX codes for 1093 amino acids which are organized in four regions:
the N-terminal catalytic domain, a region containing 30% acidic amino
acids, tandem repeats of the motif VKVEEPVEE and the C-terminus. Iden
tity with other protein kinases is 25 to 30%. Descendent trees show th
at DdKinX does not belong to any of the known kinase branches.
