摘要

Pseudokinases lack conservation of one or more of the catalytic residues in the kinase core and as a consequence are typically thought to be catalytically inactive. New work by Mukherjee et al. (2008) challenges this assumption. They show that the pseudokinase domain of CASK ( Ca(2+)/calmodulin activated serine-threonine kinase) adopts an active conformation and displays catalytic activity in vivo.
