Jacek Leluk, Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University Kinase protein inhibitors – current knowledge status Although various protein kinase families are relatively well described, there is much less known about natural protein inhibitors that control their activities. Protein kinase inhibitors are not sufficiently well classified into homologous families. There is not much known about their mechanisms of inhibition, and especially about structure-function relationships. The mechanisms of their specific recognition processes is still unclear in many cases. This limits the approaches aiming to select inhibitors of desired structural features and specificity.

Jacek Leluk, Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University The comparative study of primary structures of natural protein kinase inhibitors includes: -a thorough classification of this group of proteins -selecting the homologous families -describing of each selected family with respect to their mutational variability, structural properties and select regions that are important for their specificity. Our study started by selecting homologous inhibitor sequences. Multiple alignment was carried out and consensus sequences were constructed with the aid of the programs GEISHA (written by Adam Górecki) and Consensus Constructor (both elaborated at ICM).

Only first two codon positions are taken into account.

Jacek Leluk, Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University Simplified (planar) diagram of genetic relationships between amino acids The simplified planar diagram emphasizes the special encoding character of six- codon amino acids – Leu, Arg and Ser. The six-codon amino acids may play the role the of „mutational passages” that are not liable to the selection restrictions. These amino acids may influence on the variability range increase. In fact the six-codon amino acids occur unusually frequent at very variable positions. This concerns especially serine, and to lesser extent – arginine. Leucine does not show the correlation between the frequency of occurrence and variability range.
