Kinase-mediated protein phosphorylation is a central mechanism for regulation of cellular responses and phenotypes. While considerable information is available regarding the evolutionary relationships within the kinase family, as well as the evolutionary conservation of phosphorylation sites, each aspect of this partnership is typically considered in isolation, despite their clear functional relationship. Here, to offer a more holistic perspective on the evolution of protein phosphorylation, the conservation of protein phosphorylation sites is considered in the context of the conservation of the corresponding modifying kinases. Specifically, conservation of defined kinase-phosphorylation site pairings (KPSPs), as well as of each of the component parts (the kinase and the phosphorylation site), were examined across a range of species. As expected, greater evolutionary distance between species was generally associated with lower probability of KPSP conservation, and only a small fraction of KPSPs were maintained across all species, with the vast majority of KPSP losses due to the absence of the phosphorylation site. This supports a model in which a relatively stable kinome promotes the emergence of functional substrates from an evolutionarily malleable phosphoproteome.
