Protein kinases control cellular responses to environmental cues by swift and accurate signal processing. Breakdowns in this high-fidelity capability are a driving force in cancer and other diseases. Thus, our limited understanding of which amino acids in the kinase domain encode substrate specificity, the so-called determinants of specificity (DoS), constitutes a major obstacle in cancer signaling. Here, we systematically discover several DoS and experimentally validate three of them, named the αC1, αC3, and APE-7 residues. We demonstrate that DoS form sparse networks of non-conserved residues spanning distant regions. Our results reveal a likely role for inter-residue allostery in specificity and an evolutionary decoupling of kinase activity and specificity, which appear loaded on independent groups of residues. Finally, we uncover similar properties driving SH2 domain specificity and demonstrate how the identification of DoS can be utilized to elucidate a greater understanding of the role of signaling networks in cancer ( [this issue of Cell]). Residues driving specificity in the kinase and SH2 domains are globally identified Three new such residues, termed αC1, αC3, and APE-7, are experimentally validated Specificity and catalytic activity appear to be encoded in distinct sets of residues The global identification of determinants allows the modeling of rewiring mutations Determining the residues that drive the specificity of kinases and of SH2 domains that bind phosphorylation sites paves the way for a systematic interpretation of mutations on signaling networks.
