The Syk protein-tyrosine kinase is phosphorylated on multiple tyrosines after the aggregation of the B cell antigen receptor. However, metabolic labeling experiments indicate that Syk is inducibly phosphorylated to an even greater extent on serine after receptor ligation. A combination of phosphopeptide mapping and mass spectrometric analyses indicates that serine 291 is a major site of phosphorylation. Serine 291 lies within a 23-amino acid insert located within the linker B region that disting ...[more]
