Novel Families of Putative Protein Kinases in Bacteria and Archaea: Evolution of the “Eukaryotic” Protein Kinase Superfamily
Open accessAbstract
The central role of serine/threonine and tyrosine protein kinases in signal transduction and cellular regulation in eukaryotes is well established and widely documented. Considerably less is known about the prevalence and role of these protein kinases in bacteria and archaea. In order to examine the evolutionary origins of the eukaryotic-type protein kinase (ePK) superfamily, we conducted an extensive analysis of the proteins encoded by the completely sequenced bacterial and archaeal genomes. We detected five distinct families of known and predicted putative protein kinases with representatives in bacteria and archaea that share a common ancestry with the eukaryotic protein kinases. Four of these protein families have not been identified previously as protein kinases. From the phylogenetic distribution of these families, we infer the existence of an ancestral protein kinase(s) prior to the divergence of eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
